Just Lucky Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Pretty deer. How many acres of land are required by ny state to have a deer or elk farm? Not interested in starting one, just curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BizCT Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 What makes these deer so big at a young age? Is it a certain gene that relates to antler growth? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Usually it’s from select breeding and what’s called line breeding which is inbreeding. It is a practice common in animal husbandry. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Four Season Whitetail's Posted July 13, 2018 Author Share Posted July 13, 2018 What makes these deer so big at a young age? Is it a certain gene that relates to antler growth? Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkIt's all in the genetics. Very few line breed because in most cases they grow to big to fast. You breed with two great bloodlines and you will have great deer. Hence part of the problem with our wild deer. Among many other factors we are missing. When you start line breeding whitetails you start cutting antlers in July and August because they can't carry the rack. Not good for the animal or paycheck in most cases.

dbHunterNY Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 (edited) the deer are able to feed on good stuff and have stress free lives. i'm sure that allows them to express those good genetics. i know it helps with wild deer and when we bred and raised beef cattle. still cool pictures even if they're captive deer.

Some would rather think it's a guy injecting steroids or damaging antlers in growth to make them bigger with more points. Great blood, unlimited snacks and no stress will build a great animal regardless of the kind. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cant hardly keep any past 2. Most are spoken for that can go this year I move a lot of yearlings as they pretty much show their future when they get to this point growing big so young. I try to keep one of the better yearlings back for breeder to back up any i may miss breeding them with other bucks across the country. The 2 yearlings above are 3/4 and 1/2 Texas blood. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Four Season Whitetail's Posted July 13, 2018 Author Share Posted July 13, 2018 What’s the different between typical and nontypical? Same does but different buck genes?Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkMyself I try to go both routes. When you breed a pretty, clean say 6 by 6 into a doe that had a whole pedigree of clean bucks you will get a nice clean pretty buck 9 of 10 times. They sell like crazy and are the most sought after but bring you the least pay. Most of the industry is a pay by the score kinda thing. The breeding market is a bit different. I myself breed more non typical bucks into my cleaner does. Those big knarly, Ugly some would say have proven they have the ability to produce massive blood flow, that after all is what makes antlers. More blood flow the bigger the antlers. Believe it or not, a guy raises deer in an open hayfield with a building for shelter will grow bigger deer then a guy with the perfect deer woodlot habitat. Sunshine and heat keeps the bucks blood thinner which in turn sends more to the antlers. Strange but true.
