Wow!
That's a mutant. Scary to look at.
Test tube grown freak living in a cage for some want to be killer show up and have bragging rights...still trying to find the price he paid.
On a game farm? That's an oxymoron. Farm animals aren't game.
Looks like a mutant. I think it is abusing the animal. Just my :z-twocents: Z

I agree!
I hunt mainly in the south. For me, a clean 140" eight pointer taken off southern public land is a far greater and more glorious trophy.
I have seen pictures of this deer before, quite frankly I felt sorry for it, it has to be mighty uncomfortable to carry that much weight around on your head, it is just not normal and seems cruel to me to do that to them. Not even a trophy in my book being shot on a deer farm and all.

my wild guess is 100k but i have no clue
Grotesque not glorious. I have a real difficulty reconciling the breeders giving, "praise to Jesus" for this vs. the natural species God created. I doubt that God is honored by this animal.
Sport hunting should be sporting and about accomplishment. Nothing to brag about here
more like a mercy killing in my opinion.
The whole point of hunting for a big buck is the difficulty of outsmarting an animal that was able to live long enough to get big, by being smart/cautious/wary. Shooting what is effectively a domesticated animal defeats that whole purpose. I hate this.
This is a disgrace to the sport

It absolutely is.
I had dinner with a game farm owner one night because he was a customer of a friend. He had just gotten out of the Terre Haute Federal pen serving time on some USFWS violations. He had some interesting stories about the greed and "killer" attitudes of his clients. Definitely not my idea of hunting.
Disgusting.
Not a fan of this... It feels "ugly" to me.
That being said, if I could start a cattle ranch in which people paid me exorbitant amounts of money to shoot their own cow, I would start it tomorrow.
I have no idea how these hunts work... But in my head, I picture a conversation: "You wait here, and we will bring him out to you. Wait till we are away from him before you shoot."
