What a brute! They grow them big in the midwest.
I am going back to MN next week to hunt whitetails with my bow. If I get one like that I will share a picture on here.

Wow but is it just me or does the body of the deer look kinda small? I suppose its chest could be compressed?

My guess is Archery, early archery ended last week.  Rifle season in Michigan is 15 through 30 November, every year, like it has been for more than 50 years.

Nice buck. I'll reserve speculation on its heritage. The hunter looks happy.  :tup:

:yeah: looks just like those farmed whitetails, I would love the look if it was wild though.  Any farmed freak deer, just do nothing for me, cool for furniture or lamps maybe.

It could be a farm raised deer. However I'm from Ohio, and I was out riding one evening and I saw one that was a tad smaller than the one in question. There were no deer farms in the area and unfortunately I never saw it again after that.

Looks like there are at least a couple other deer laying in the background....

Nice MI whitey, Matt.

In reference to the 52-pointer, the body does look very small for a deer that would've had to mature for years in the wild to attain that kind of headgear. Still reserving judgement, but... :dunno:

Doesn't look like the Hunter to me , more like the Butcher posing with a Clients buck . Which would make me mad if I was the hunter and didn't want it all over Social Media  :dunno:

100% thats him.  People are pathetic, shooting these livestock deer and trying to pass them off as legitimate.  This isnt the first time and wont be the last.

Different place, people, culture, practices.  Not sure its being passed off as anything other than a big dear.  :dunno:
Hating will rot your soul.

     Oh give me a break, its michigan.  Nowhere in american hunting culture is it considered fair chase or even hunting to kill a pen raised domesticated deer that you picked out of a catalogue.  Thats why these giant livestock deer arent on magazine covers, dont have articles written about them, and are ineligible for any sort of record books.

Not sure its being passed off as anything other than a big dear. :dunno:

By making an excited post like that about the big buck that got brought in, but leaving out the little detail that it was not a wild animal, theyre implying by omission.


Hating will rot your soul.

Well gee, maybe i should have no personal standards on what is acceptable, throw all morals out the window and just accept any sort of behavior regarding any subject.  Maybe b&c, p&y, sci etc should remove the hate in their souls and start allowing these pen raised deer to be entered in the books.  What hateful judgemental bigots  :rolleyes:

Anyone with cash can shoot that big or bigger. During my texas trip I saw cull deer on the wall at a high fence operation that are 200 plus deer....the grow them 300 inches plus. Bizarre looking.  Heck, i whacked an axis doe,  had to shoo them off the fence to take the shot. Made some meat, no hunting involved, only killing.

Nothing deeply wrong with it (meat is meat) but I'd take a wild doe over farmed buck any day.
