We moved Ballistic yesterday and had the opportunity to score him. Our preliminary results based on a conservative measurement puts him at 561-6/8!!! We decided not to saw him at this time since he carries it pretty well. We had a whole team of assistants, witnesses and staff on board to help. Ballistic will be the subject of an upcoming Wild Rivers TV show.

His pedigree is in our ad in the NADEFA magazine and the recent Minnesota deer breeders magazine. It will also be in Donna Boy's gazette and Deer Tracking coming out soon. For the record he is a son of HyJax, who is a HighRoller/Jack the ripper cross. So that makes him a High Roller grandson.

We are drawing semen on October 8 - get your orders in now for this breeding season.



Also will be taking orders for 2012 fawns from Ballistic. We'll give you the breeding cross we will be doing with him - live breeding.



He is the largest buck ever and we haven't sawed him!

Couple more facts - his largest circumference was over 14" and the two base measurements were over 12.

He should be coming out of velvet any time now. He still is OK carrying his antlers - which is pretty unusual for any of the big guys. We haven't sawed him - so if anyone is coming this way and still wants to see him they can.

To all those inquiries -the price of semen is $3500. Still cheaper than many out there!
