[QUOTE="Mark37082, post: 2542935, member: 120066"] I completely agree that genetics plays a part, but also have seen what nutrition and pampering can do to a deers antler growth. A good friend of mine (RIP) was bush hogging one of fields many years ago when he spotted a fawn hiding in the tall grass. He got off the tractor and went over to check it out. Long story short...He carried the fawn back to his barn and spent next several weeks bottle feeding and caring for it. He tried to release it, but it stayed around the barn. He realized he was in predicament as time passed. Game laws do not allow you to keep wild animals. He didn't care and created a large pen in one of his barns and fed the deer high quality horse food. He kept this on the down low for several years. The deer grew antlers that were unbelievably massive. In the end someone boarding horses at his ranch turned him in. The TWRA came and picked up the deer. He paid huge fines. The deer had antlers similar to what I saw in the video. [/QUOTE]
