re: Big Deer killed around Dubach?

That baw paid good money for that deer.

Ya think they took the rope off him before doing the deed?

A lot of pen deer have white antlers. Something definitely injured that one side while he was in velvet. That's the only thing that says pen deer to me. You would be surprised what is killed along the river that never gets publicized. We used to hunt a place that had a 230" deer on the wall, and part of one side was broken off. They never had it officially scored or entered into any books. A guy killed a 186" out there several years ago and ran to the LA sportsman with it. The land owner got pissed. That piece of shite that charges people with trespassing on Saline lake owns that property now.

Also, the NE LA genetics were downgraded if anything by the imported deer. The literature is available on the LDWF website if anyone feels like digging it up. LA can very easily grow a wild deer like that.
