Move over $12,000 buck...  The buck called "Heart Attack"..... Some guys went on a deer capture in Uvalde county in South Texas , about 2 weeks ago and netted this deer, Heart Attack. He scored 248. He has 21 points, an inside spread of 32 inches and an outside spread of 34 1/2 inches. They put a price tag on him of 1 million dollars.

That is a really big deer, but one million dollars, I don't think so.

NO Buck is worth that kind of money!! A deer of that size killed under what would be considered "fair chase" would be worth more than that ..... the difference is the killer would be receiving the money instead of paying the money. |

You have to ask the question: What is the hunting world coming to? This is crazy!

You have to ask the question: What is the hunting world coming to? This is crazy! Today's hunting is nothing like it was when I started hunting back in the early 1960's. Back then, hunting was a joyful past time sport, not a business as many try to make it out to be. Today one has to "Lease" most of the time and shell out big bucks on top of his/her license & tag fees. I figure, I have about 10 years of hunting left; I am happy I saw the days when Hunting was actually enjoyable and called a Sport. Something a lot of you younger guys will never see. |

I don't think so. The kid in Iowa only got $200,000 for his world record buck and it has this one beat by a long shot. |

IMO, a 248" typical whitetail killed under fair chase would be worth more than $1m. I hadnt really looked at the pic when I posted originally .... I had not noticed that the deer was not (or at least does not appear to be a typical). But my opinion stands. |

Boys, I think you are looking at this thing the wrong way. What I'm about to say, I'll preface by saying I've been to Texas a couple of times hog hunting. I would never pay the prices they want for deer down there. However, hunting deer in Texas is BIG business. Where that buck is worth a million, is as a breeder buck. Just like bulls, boars, and race horses. Somebody will buy that buck, and the semen from artificial insemenation will easily make up for paying $1 mil for that deer. I'm not going to argue about his head being worth a mil or not[to me he wouldn't be]. They stud that buck until he's out lived his usefulness, and STILL be able to sell that head, or "hunt", for big bucks[no pun intended].

I'm not doubting you, but reading that made me sad. What a picture of what it has come to. They're breeding deer like race horses, how unsatisfying.

I agree, it is sad, but when I was in Tx. 2 yrs. ago, I brought a copy of a magazine called Texas Trophy Hunter home with me. You wouldn't believe the ads in there for breeders and AI. When you drive through the countryside, the places adv. deer corn, feeders, tower blinds, fencing, etc. was astounding. Like I said its a big business down there. I inquired about the cost of high fencing on some of those ranches, and was told the going rate was $10-12,000 a linear mile!

What is really sad is that someone someday will kill this buck and enter it as a record.
Bull Crap, I'm sorry but I don't think this is quite fair since it is farm raised for one and more than likely penned somehow. How can anyone consider this fair chase?, especialy when it is bought and paid for !!!!

What is really sad is that someone someday will kill this buck and enter it as a record. B&C/P&Y won't take it; there should be enough evidence of it being penned. The only one I know of would be SCI, and it's widely known that many of their "record" bucks were shot behind a fence. |

The domestication of the whitetail deer. All in the name of money. How depressing.
