Reply #8: They have a big buck contest at the feed store [View All]

where I buy corn and Antlermax in Menard Co. Tx. It is $25 to enter. Whoever kills the biggest Boone and Crocket scored deer wins a very nice rifle with a scope. I believe the rifle is worth about $850. The deer has to be killed in Menard Co. Tx. They have some polaroid pics on the wall of the leaders so far. There is a 16 pointer up there. That deer has to be very old. Imagine how many does he has mated with and passed on those antler genetics to ! Usually one that large is the dominant buck for that area unless he is so old a younger deer can beat him up when they fight for breeding rights. The winner gets to breed ALL the does. They only go into the rut once a year so the competition is extremely tough for who gets the ladies. It is nature's way of making sure only the strongest survive. The fittest animals will keep the species going. I love deer hunting.
