Soon we will all be able to clone a 400 inch, 500 inch, whatever inch deer we want and release it into the woods and go "hunting". :rolleyes:

I've heard that a vial of DNA from these giants can get pretty expensive, but a lot of outfitters and "hunters" are flipping the bill with hopes of growing giants like this guy on their property.

I wouldn't want any part of it personally.

Wait a minute........why hunt it? Just place your order, and they can send you the head mounted to your specifications, and flash frozen venison packages. That's where all this garbage is heading anyway. Now we have manufactured trophy deer. What has that kind of nonsense got to do with hunting? That is just some entrepreneurs satisfying a market consisting of those that want a trophy at any cost. Unfortunately, that mentality is growing.

Yeah, it's kind of like looking at a two headed calf. Freakish enough so you can't look away, but not really something you would really ever want to own. Basically a waste of time money, effort and research.

I don't think that deer is 2 years old... His body looks too mature. Maybe that is because of the protein and all the other crap they are giving him. I agree with Doc on every comment he has made so far. I would not want to see that specific deer in the wild. If I saw a buck that had that kind of REAL genetics, not man made, that's a whole nother story, but that just ain't right having a man-made animal like that. Just my 2 cents....

Ya, I wasnt posting this as a deer that should be shot, or hunted, its a pet-livestock. but its still cool to see a deer like that, pretty freaking amazing ya know. I would love to see how much the sheds on that one sell for.

Actually, I don't think he is a "pet". That pretty much looks like a deer farm where genetics, diet, and DNA are controlled and manipulated for some very lucrative results. The first financial gain that I see them getting from all this is the pile of ads from food-plot seed marketers. I would suppose that another source of income from this manufactured freak would be stud fees so that other deer farmers can tap into his genetics. And why would so many business people spend good cash on something like this? ........ Well, it is obvious that the fantasy of shooting such an animal is a big advertising draw. So while this animal will never be shot, the purpose of investing so much time, money, and science into such a thing is still based on the trophyism that runs rampant through deer hunting. The idea of "A trophy at any cost" is what drives this result. Will such an animal ever be huntable? ......... You bet. When hunting preserves can buy similar freaks, and for the right price offer him to wealthy "hunters" who just want to have the biggest rack hanging on their wall that money can buy, they will be made available for hunting.

I don't know whether anyone noticed the other mega-bucks that were in the background, but it sure was obvious that the owners of this buck have something going on there that provides some freakish looking racks that would be very desireable for stocking high-end shooting preserves. No, it isn't a pet. It is an investment that is worth a lot of dollars.
