Thats what good ol Martygraw can produce!! Mother is still unknown I believe.
 
mother unknown..... that completely opposite to humans, I would bet that she has a line of breeding that will like other bucks in the past that looked like they came out of nowhere but with a little detective work the path to big antlers shows ityself, sometimes it takes years for the pattern to show itself
 
I have Proud Eagle which is a son of Soaring Eagle and Ranchers mother. I AI'ed with him to my PJ daughters. I hope that cross works.

I would like to see a Rancher doe bred to Martygraw. You have it in the mix yet?



I have 2 MartyGraw does that I will be breeding to Rancher this year. The thing that makes this cross so interesting is that Rancher is a son of Full House and Full House and Marty Graw have the same mother. One of my MartGraw does is from a Thunder mother and the other is from a Highroller mother. Hopefully a giant 6x6 or 7x7 typical will result ... time will tell.



Oh, and I also have some Pretty Boy Floyd semen to work in there at some point.
 
Don and Aaron, I also have a martygraw doe and some straws of Rancher but not sure if I am going to use Pretty Boy Floyd or Rancher on her this year. Or also a possible TYPICAL secret weapon.
 
Since We are interested in Typical mixes. What do you guys have as your most powerful typical on typical for this coming year? Which combination do you see as being your best typical fawns? I Have a Whiley doe Live bred to Amos that Im hoping throws out some huge perfect typs.
 
Hey guys, since we don't know the dam side of Pretty Boy Floyd, what kind of breeding do you think caused him to look like that? I don't want any real answers, I just wanna know what you guys speculate caused the deer to look like that.



He's kind of wide and lays out like some of the classic 200" bucks of the past. Does Marti Graw produce bucks that lay out instead of going straight up? What do you guys think?

I don't know all the doe lines Mark had in with Martygraw that year, but, I know he had lines such as Pharaoh, Big John, Max, PA Geronimo, and Cisco/Scar. I know their where others, just don't know what they were.



That being said, he lays out kind of like Bucky and Bucky Jr. do. Go Figure.

If I had to speculate I would say our best typ on typ would have to be Jed Typ 10 (5X5) 247@2 (Martygraw son) on bottom and Pretty Boy Floyd Typ 13 (6X7) 235@2 (Martygraw son) on top. I know Pretty Boy was bigger this year at 3 and is a Typ 15 (7X8), I just don't know the accurate score. Would hope to see a couple of bucks out of her, Martygraw top and bottom, should be interesting.

That does sound like a bad mix at all!! You know of any pictures of JED out there? Clean 5x5? 247? That is a huge 10 ptr!!
 
Mark Pierce had some 1 year old pics when he was 170"+ 5X5, but I don't know of any others. I think he shed deep at 2 and went non-typ on his right side at 3. I can tell you seeing him in the pen with Hydro-Ax, Sky High, and Pretty Boy Floyd he fit right in with them. And yes he was Huge! I think that score is correct, as far as I can remember anyway, if someone knows different, please let us know.



He, along with everything else that year took a back seat to Hydro-Ax 275"@2, that is why not to many people know of them or are just finding out. I am lucky enough to live close enough to Mark to get to go see them every year.
 
By the way, he had some extras @2, not clean, but not bad at all. Sickers, a split or to, and some extras, but like I said, he still looked good, had alot of mass.
 
Hey folks, What about a doe who's sire is RDM 44 Mag ( 280+ 8 X 8 main frame) bred to Marty Graw. We have all seen what Marty Graw can do. We will be putting a choice doe fawn on W.E. soon. The does are daughters of Thunder, BW Sunny, 44 Mag and MaxHi. The reason these does were bred to Marty Graw was frame X frame producer.

Those should be some great crosses, maybe I can win that if I'm lucky. Real Lucky!
 
Mike,



Hope you keep a few bucks around out of those mixes. Can't wait to see em grow. As you already know we have a few to Martgraw this year too. It will be am interesting next couple of years to watch all of these super bred Martygraw sons grow. I will watch for the fawns on WE.
 
I'm glad to see that you guys like the crosses and you might be interested in them down the road. We need to see if we can post an unborn 09 fawn on W.E. or not. There had been some discussion about it earlier. Hope to put her on soon.
