What a little age can do.
« on: Aug 29, 2004, 08:14:41 AM »
These are pictures of a fawn that was picked up along the road in Bradford Co. Pennsylvania.  The owners have a breeders license and raised the deer in captivity.  The buck is now 6 1/2 years old, last weighed this spring at 320lbs. and as of Aug. 15 sported 8 points and a 25 1/2"inside spread, 14" G 2's and 10 3/8" bases in velvet.  This deer is expected to break the Boone and Crockett minimun of 170 inches this year as a typical 8 point.  This deer does not benefit from some of this areas better genetics as he has never grown more than 8 points, imagine if he did!

Let em' go, let em' grow!  I wish I had the pics of this bucks first 3 spindly racks, you wouldn't believe it was the same deer.

Nice deer, shame it had to be kept in captivity.
Genesis 9:2 The fear and dread of you will fall upon all the beasts of the earth and the birds of the air, upon every creature that moves along the ground, and upon all the fish of the sea, they are given into your hands.

Yes it is but, the fawn would have surely died if not picked up since it was an orphan as a result of roadkill.  There is a good and bad side to everything. :-\

Whitetails are such beautiful animals that sometimes it's better just to watch them.  That's a fine healthy looking deer.
Their comin' right for us!
