bowtech Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 Decided i would fill the feeder for the first time in a few month and the next day i got these pictures... A few people told me that they had saw an antlered deer in the summer but it was just one of those things you would have to see to believe.. but now i believe!

Dakota Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 I'm going to have to go with Cactus Buck just looking at the second pic. I'd take it either way. Dakota Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

250savage Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 i'm not entirely sure what a cactus buck is (sorry for being ignorant) but i'm assuming its when the bucks lose certain organs that help in antler growth and therefor not releasing the hormone to make the velvet go away (again sorry for being ignorant) but my grandpa used to tell me about that.

Tominator Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 Based on that enormous body, I'd say cactus buck. If you look at his back right leg in the first pic, it almost looks like a cut there. Maybe he got cut, and in the process, got the jewels cut too. :crutch: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerdanmagic Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 You learn something everyday. I'd never heard of a cactus buck before. Thanks for the link. And now that I am edjuk8ed, I'll go with Cactus buck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HUNTINGMAN Posted October 15, 2009 Report Share Posted October 15, 2009 Can't see him real well on my I phone but I would say he is a darn nice shooter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
