Gulftider (2/14/2009)
imkilroy (2/14/2009)
Hey Gulftider, What state is the bloodline from? Congrat's to your dad on a monster buck. Some might not agree, but 1000 acres is a good chunk of land. I've never hunted a high fence, and it might not be some people's idea of hunting, but to each his own. It's still an awesome animal! Congrat's again!Thanks for the congrats. We have not imported any deer so I assume the state bloodline is AL. The property is in Lowndes/Dallas County AL and we have owned it since 1987. Thanks again for the congrats. I missed in your first post about "no imported deer". That is impressive. Do ya'll feed protein pellet's? Did you age the buck?

Incredible Alabama deer. You can't consistently grow deer in Alabama anywhere near that class without a fence.
People that say that killing a mature deer in a 500 to 1000 acre high fenced property is like shooting fish in a barrel have never hunted a mature deer in a 500 to 100 acre high fenced property.

| we do a variety of supplemental feeding. winter / summer food plots, have feeders that we do a mixture of corn and soy beans in Feb/March then last year we used Maxrax for the duration of the spring/summer/fall. We have also put out some trophy rock. I uploaded a picture of a funky deer I killed this year and another picture of my dad's deer with him and my daughter.

It sure seem's to be working. I am in a lease where we feed protien pellets in trough feeder year round. We have 8500 acres with roughly 350 acres in food plot's and 65 trough feeder's that hold around 600 lb's. We're growing some good deer for NW Fl. ,but nothing like that. That one you killed is a fine one also! Congrat's!

| Don't hate on the high fence just cause you can't afford it. I can't either, but I don't judge those who can. '

| Thanks for the congrats. We have not imported any deer so I assume the state bloodline is AL. The property is in Lowndes/Dallas County AL and we have owned it since 1987. alabama imported deer from michigan and wisconsin back in the 50s.that why the further you go north in alabama they seem to get the action of 2 rutting periods in someplaces .either way ,dandy of a deer!

Death From Above (2/17/2009)
Something don't smell good about this one.what would that be? Take a look at these two pictures. 1 is the deer dead the field shortly after he was killed and the other is with my oldest son and the deer. I have trail cam photos of the deer live at my house and can post them when I'm back in town. you may want to check your sniffer if you were insinuating that I'm not telling the truth.

Gulftider...don't sweat it. We have been beat down in the south so often by the main stream hunting community ie:The Pros that awesome bucks don't come from the south, people automatically assume any huge buck killed down here has to be brought in from somewhere else. Congrats on the awesome bucks and keep up the good work on growing those monsters!
'Cuz deer huntin' ain't catch & release!

| I agree, Don't sweat it but the fact is most deer over 160" south of Birmingham are helped in some way ( Northern genes, etc.). I'm sure a hand full or two that are giant such as this one are legit w/ natural genes. Fact is if you have the time and resources to create a southern sanctuary then do it ( Local genes, Northern genes whatever) and who gives a damn about the others. Most of these guys probably never seen a Booner! I haven't seen many and none done here!!! I admire what ever your doing to grow those deer local or not local, High fence no high fence. I believe most people just assume shooting these deer in a fence is like picking out a Gold Fish at the Fair, any one that has hunted a HF will quickly admit it's the real deal only controlled. Unless your like Noell Feather he was the guy on TV back in the early 90's shooting booners in a big hog pen that were drugged. No, he's not on TV anymore!!!! and neither is his buddy Dan Fitzgerald very often.
