Someone else had commented that they had gotten the buck on video, I sort of thought he must be free range?

A stag buck. ie either testicle damage or no testicles. You see quite a few similar bucks on the south end of Kodiak Island.
:yeah: Ugly for sure.

Post by: GrampasGuns on April 05, 2016, 09:53:03 AM: They are called cactus bucks. They never shed, and the growth just gets crazier!

Post by: wt on April 05, 2016, 11:46:12 PM: Not free range, the first fence shows a possible fence post in the back, second pic he is pulled up to what looks like a tractor tire (feed or water)? Ugly stick for sure.

I don't think the fence behind the buck is a regulation high fence pen.

The tractor tire could be a hay feeder for cattle. I am not saying you are wrong, just can't say 100% certain based on that information.

Post by: crowinghen on April 06, 2016, 09:44:18 AM: I think it looks kind of gross- like a growth I saw on a guy at my work- only his was covered in green foul smelling discharge.
:puke:

I think you are wrong, looks like a standard livestock fence which deer go over easily, tractor tires are used by all kinds of ranchers, they are cheap, you just put a pipe into them from a spring and you have a great water trough!

Yes, I see three points which are definitely longer than 1 inch.

Post by: Special T on April 06, 2016, 01:12:26 PM: I saw a dead head down in Kansas that was similar. Not as massive as that tho. The one I saw looked like antelope horns that were massive with stickers all over. Kind of remined me of huge king crab claws.

Post by: PastorJoel on April 06, 2016, 07:26:48 PM: That deer is really bad looking. I wouldn't know if I should kill it to rid the world of it or not kill it so that I could get a better deer.

Post by: idaho guy on April 08, 2016, 02:11:09 PM: :tup: Cactus buck I would shoot it for sure. Crazy looking I don't think its a high fenced buck either :twocents:
Title: Re: This buck has a lot going on!
Post by: GrampasGuns on April 09, 2016, 09:08:03 AM: This is something that occurs occasionally in the wild. Nothing at all says "high fence" here.

Post by: fly4fish on April 12, 2016, 08:55:48 AM: I don't think a high fence operation would want anything to do with a mongoloid like that. I don't think they can genetically produce cactus bucks, nor would they probably want to.
