Hey, nice rack!

...of antlers that is! Here are the older bucks at the Wildlife Center where I work. Some are still in velvet and one has completely shed and is in hard antler. They will all be de-antlered as soon as they finish shedding.

Dewey; 6 years old and a clone. He's gonna obliterate the Boone & Crockett score again this year. I counted 31 points and a spread of about 34 inches.

Mitchell; Dewey's oldest surviving son and 3 years old. He's pretty impressive too, and very insane.

Buck; unrelated to Dewey and I think 6 or 7 years old. He ran into the fence too many times, hence his tongue hanging out.

Heath; Buck's twin and as sweet as can be.

And then I had to include the newest batch of babies. Two males and two females. All are from sets of twins or triplets. We lost two babies, sadly, but the rest are doing well. One of the triplet set is being left with her momma to grow up wild.

My favorite!

Thanks for looking! :}
 
Dewey is the world's first white-tailed deer clone and is part of an ongoing research project at A&M's Vet School to see how much genetic influence plays on antler growth of the progeny. His tissue donor (a wild, hunted deer from NY) had an impressive rack, but Dewey has far surpassed him. The project hasn't gotten very far because a) Dewey throws a lot of females and b) any males that are born generally die. With all the deer we have on site that are from Dewey (15+), only 6 are male with the oldest being 3 years old. He has a 2 year old and two 1 year old sons, but they are very...odd. I think it's all the inbreeding, personally. :\
 
^ That's what you thought? Aw man, we need more pervs. :laugh:


Do like the deer very much though. They look like fun to work with. :D
