[QUOTE="dok7mm, post: 1972133, member: 90080"] It's strange that you have been able to justify feeding alfalfa in Wyoming and Montana when animals are in stress. Then turn around and say a buck in Texas is not entitled to the same. Alfalfa has approximately 20% crude protein and protein is fundamental to antler growth, regardless of the state. You haven't been to Culbertson County TX, that's obvious. It is one of the most arid parts of the state, with only 10" of rainfall in good years. The few mule deer have a rough time finding water, so land stewarts provide help, like your Grandfather did for elk. Fawn survival is poor due to coyote and lion predation and lions take a lot of adults. I don't have any idea how you decided the buck, in question, received any kind of antler "super enhancer". Does that mean any buck, that has a rack that is well above normal, should be suspect? I like to think it's partially genetics and the luck to survive predators. Why did you decide this buck and this hunter are not up to your standards? Greg watched that buck for four years because he was exceptional for his age group, waiting til he became a true trophy. You are entitled to your opinion, but I hate to see anyone who decides a hunter or trophy "can't hold a candle" to others. Hunting is somewhat different from state to state and people have different methods due to conditions. I hope all hunters stay banded together and support each other. [/QUOTE]
