I received this picture for a friend who claims the deer was taken in Hartford, MI. and weighed 430 pounds. If true, holy buckets!

XXXXXXXXX deleted link XXXXXXXXXX

"The truth is the buck shown above was killed at a high-fence game farm in Wisconsin called Wilderness Whitetails in September 2009, and the photo seen here can be found in that game farm's trophy gallery. While no official weight was listed for the kill, wilderness preserve owner Shorty Flees told Field and Stream Magazine in 2010 it was a 420-pound buck".

Some places have some big ones.
One time I was hanging some bucks in a icehouse in Vegas.
There were a couple of hundred deer there. And I looked around, I see some deer that were much bigger than the others.
I walk over for a closer look. They were Colorado deer.

This is what happens when a Red Hereford bull meets a white tail doe at the feed lot. Wow! If he was lucky, there will be descendants.

From the looks of this one, the huge rack of antlers, at least it's not a white faced, short horn variety that's been known to be shot..:o

Rolls and rolls of fat on that buck. It is not nearly as long, nor as deep as a cow elk that average 450-500 lbs. I would have to see the scale and the certifications myself. It is easily over 300 lbs but how much more than 350??????

high-fence game farm is that like shooting a cow in the pasture? I wonder if it was tied up so the "hunter" didn't have to walk too far.

Maybe some are, but not all game farms are like that. I hunted on one in central Oregon which had a high fence around the perimeter of 10,000 acres of some pretty rough terrain. The animals inside that fence didn't act any different than any others I've ever hunted. Lots of walking, climbing and stalking.

That's kind of like assuming that fish in a lake are easier to catch because they're in an enclosed area and not out in the ocean.
 
Reminds me of some of the ones I saw taken in Nebraska when I lived there. They lived along creek beds and fence rows bordering corn fields. Corn fed 300+ pounders were common. Nothing like the one in the OP, though. That thing's massive!

I'm a fair-chase hunter and find myself skeptical of "high-fence" hunts......especially those with only a few hundred acres at best for the hunt. I don't know the particulars about this hunt, but a deer just does not obtain that kind of weight in the wild and was IMO pen raised and released to be shot by some "dude".

My first reaction .... is "not" to be impressed.

I work too hard to get a shot at wild "free range" deer & elk etc...to see this hunt as any kind of accomplishment.

I've seen this pic in a magazine around 2006. This was a high fence buck killed up north, if my memory is correct. The guy paid 10k to shoot this big boy.

IMO, its like shooting fish in a barrel.
