So, I know this isn't a mule deer, but it's kinda interesting none the less (to me at least). I'm not even sure how I ran accross their website, but it's a whitetail deer farm in Michigan. They list pictures of all their bucks by age and then tell you what their B&C score is (like it even matters). So you can pretty much guess that I clicked on the oldest deer first just to see. So after looking at some monster farm raised deer in the 6+ year old range I decided to see what they were producing at 1 year old. This is what I saw

Is this even possible for a yearling buck? I cant even imagine what kind of horemones and steroids are fed to these guys. Could you even imagine being in the field and seeing a yearling buck that big? Where I come from yearling bucks are spikes, or small 2 points if they get into some good feed.
I'm on the fence with the whole deer and elk farming thing, I dont think they deserve to be raised and exploited for their headgear, or pen-raised and then tied to a tree and shot by the highest bidder. Yet I believe that people should be allowed to raise and breed them the same as people can raise and breed cattle. However I have problems with some aspects/forms of cattle farming as well. Deer and elk are beutiful animals to look at, but i'd prefer to see them in the wild where they belong. Not penned up with tags in their ears. But to each their own......

i dont think this buck is a yearling but i dont think he is over 3 yrs old either. BUT IT DOESN'T MATTER THEY ARE JUST MOO COWS!! and how anyone would get a kick out of shooting one of these is beyond me :>/ :>/
FIY that deer is named Grizzly, he scores 218 6/8" and was born on May 25 2006. So he'd be 2 years old now, but since they havent shed their velvet yet this year that pic would be his 1st year pic.
Although I have always been curious about Chemicially enhanced yearlings.
