Thread: Red stag antlers “ trophy potential “

up on local station that has arguably some of the best deer genetics in the world......and some truely MASSIVE ugly christmas tree heads....its interesting as heck to watch development of stags through the years...some what would be spikers have 15-20points in allsorts of angles with buggerall size anywhere...next year they slightly larger but still all crazy in shape...next year better still andso on UNTILL hormones settle down,then they show true potential and shape and form becomes more normal....the symetry comes in then if its going to at all.....on other farms nearby the stags dont have the mass but are beautifully symetrical
so first farm would be desired by SCI buyers the 2nd by Douglas scoring buyers if going into canned hunting...where a lot have been in last few years.
look up internet and you will find cast antlers from same stag each year......very interesting to see improvement then decline.
that stag of Emils Dads was a beauty...those outward top tines were solid and head full of character.....great episode.
