Roger, I will be keeping an eye on updraft- he is a great deer that has a truly great pedigree. Some of the other deer that I am looking at are X- Factor and Energizer, considering thier ages, and pedigrees. It is my opinion that if a buck has a spotless and deep pedigree , and it fits into what I am working towards, posseses the proven bloodlines that I want to put into my program and has the frame, look and extras that make my heart skip a beat, I really dont care who owns the buck-I am not buying the owner ,I am buying the buck's charactaristics and pedigree.I truly believe that those who buy thier stock based on who owns them will fall behind. Mother Nature dosent care whos name is on the title.I know of a few real jaw droppers that havent been shown yet and Im sure there are more that will blow our minds. We will really have to get picky to stay in the running. Like Gene Fleese said, these days you have be at a full out run to keep up.
