Chris,



Congratulations on another great looking Outrageous son we have great looking 2 year olds that any hunter would love to see in the woods. Outrageous is still alive in Mi we have much semen available.



Russ and Eddy,



X Factor Is diamond in the ruff. Will be making several crosses at Apple Creek. Thanks for selling some straws along the grow out. We will reserve our straws for some of our best does.

Hi Everyone

The Deer are looking awesome

Michael congratulations on Ringleader, he looks awesome.

We just had a Buck fawn born out of Brewtus friday evening.

I have recently seen the bucks growing out at S&S Whitetail Galore. They no less than 7 deer over 300", Maybe 10 over 300". Here is just a taste of what they have coming on in 2010!



HARD ROCK 35/27 is out of Maxbo's full sister with Superdoe on top and Maxbo's Dam on the bottom. He is 300"+@2, 26" inside, with a lot of growth left to come. He also has a womb brother that is huge. Pics coming soon!



S&S Whitetails has four 2 yr olds over 300" and 13 2 yr olds over 225"+ with Two Shadow 2 yr olds over 350".



Here is a pic of Hydro Max @3, he has blown up, 25"+ inside and should be over 300" as well.



Oh yea, almost forgot, here is a picture of Say It Ain't So Shadow. WOW!

We measured him up close and personal as he is bottle raised. He is 40" wide outside and going to get wider. 400" at 2 is not out of the question I'd say. Notice the ruler in the third picture?

Here are 2 of our 6 yearlings at L&W Whitetails.



Top Secret is Shadow x Top Gun's (355@5) Fullsister



Top Shadow is Shadow x 625 who is 102(245@5) / 339 (Mother to Cash Call 235@2 24" Inside and Mother to Top Cash 288@2 22" Inside)



102 is Top Gun's Father

LaRue those are some awesome looking yearlings man. I am pumped for you and Curt. Top Secret has the look and pedigree to go with it. It doesn't get much better than Shadow on Top Gun's sister. Glad to see that all the hard work is paying off over there. You guys are doing it right.

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.

Eric it looks like you had quite a tour at S&S. They have some great deer on their farm. I like Hard Rock with those drops and of course the Maxbo and Superdoe in the pedigree.



Say It Ain't So Shadow, that is just crazy, 40 inches outside, WHEW! Who couldn't go for some of that.



Darren, I have to agree with you totally. Mother Nature doesn't care and if you're out to be a breeder for your passion in whitetails and to grow that majestic sire, then as you said you will go for the pedigree and your plan in progress regardless of the owner.

Billy, the bucks are looking super!

I wanted to follow up on Eric's comments on S&S Whitetail Galore this year. For all of you who haven't had the chance to visit yet, put it high on your list of "have to hit" spots this summer. It is like Jurassic Park up there.. or maybe Halloween cause there are monsters all over the place.



HardRock 35/27 is beautiful. Hydro Max has really come on. Say It Aint So is the biggest deer I have ever seen that you can walk up and touch, and his other two year olds are just incredible across the board. Shadow is getting it done.



Sundowner looks huge. I think he is going to be even wider than last year. He also has a couple of yearlings that I really liked. One is out of Rolex and Hardcore's sister, and the other one is out of Shadow and Maxbo's sister. That Maxbo Sister is also the mother to HardRock 35/27.



The biggest surprise this year at S&S though has to be Maxin II. He looks awesome, bigger in all areas and much more balanced than last year. I didn't hardly recognize him this year until I saw all those giant brows. The crazy thing is that he still has a lot of growing left to do. Him and Sundowner are still black and bulby.



Here are some pictures of Maxin II so far this summer...

Wow,

Maxin 2 looks awesome. Can't wait to see everyone deer, keep posting pics.



Thanks,

Will
