Bucks only produce semen when in hard antlers. Don't they lose about 15% of bone mass during antler growth? |

We have to blunt bucking bulls horns to size of a half dollar to conform to PBR rules they bleed like all hell.
Do deer bleed profusely when you cut the antlers? |

When they do bleed we cauterize the antler bases to stop the bleeding. We leave around 2" of antler on so they have something to rub on in the spring and drop the antlers. It is not like bulls where you are completely dehorning, we are merely cutting them off so they don't kill one another in the same pen and will grow a bigger set of antlers next year. |

How tame are they? They look pretty chill in the trailer there. Just like cattle? Generally not bad with the occasional trouble maker?

I hate to tell you guys calling them canned hunts, they are not. We have deer that have been loose for 4 years or more still running around.
They are not seen unless on game cameras or a brief moment. Canned hunts are a northern "preserve" thing Texas has acreage not 150 acres that is called a "game preserve". |

You are pen raising deer, feeding them, and releasing them to hunters who kill pen raised deer for money. That's not hunting...it's buying deer and the price sheet is above. When you can select the deer you want to shoot from a catalog of photos...it's not huntiing. This brings shame on legitimate sport hunting. Plus...it directly spreads disease into wild populations. It should be illegal. |

It should be illegal. We are severely regulated by TPWD. We have taken measures to prevent CWD in our herd since 2008 and have not brought in outside animals since 2010 for fear of CWD. The deer we let loose are two and three year old and get acclimated to the ranch before they are shot. We also have an 8' fence surrounding the ranch with another 3' burried. I killed over 500 hogs off this place and we have zero hogs now. As for your claims of it not being a hunt, spend the time and money with me and I can get you a quality deer, maybe not the one you saw in a game camera photo but one similar. That is what happens on a propperly managed ranch. Don't get your panties in a wad because you only see four pointers on public lands in Kentucky. |

I used Wrangler tires to get to my hunting spot. The H*¥} bow was the best i ever shot. Spitcups spitcup was the best i ever used. Scent free and the best part, you can even piss in it. No scent at all and eco friendly. |

If you release them without their antlers they will be killed by local bucks WITH antlers. Happened years ago in Texas.
