Here are some pictures from our farm yesterday. I see some really good looking bucks growing out there.
July growth update
- Thread starter Whitehouse Whitetails
- Start date
Wow John those guys do look good!! How many of those are M & M sons?? Just curious because I heard you all had some dandy sons out of M & M up there this year.
I hear Don Higgins Moses buck has really put it on this year.I heard he had 29 points and looks to become a 6x6.He usually is a late grower.
How big was Moses last year? I would be interested in using him in our breeding program this fall. I hear he is a great looking deer.
Lil Russ comes out of our buck Secret Weapon who is double bred Sundance. On the dam side he comes from Murrays dam, black 5. She is a direct daughter of Flees Hy Guy. If that doesnt make sense email me and I will attach his pedigree with DNA numbers. Let me know if you have any other questions. He is named after one of the best deer farmers in IN.

We were over ar dons a couple weeks ago and moses looked wider and had more mass also. From the looks of it he still had alot of growing left in him too. Rick
Heres what I would like to do....
Get Whitehouse to give me an M&M doe......then
Get Don to hook me up with a straw of Moses.....then
Bam..... All parties would be happy..... okay at least this one!!

I purchased a straw of Moses at the ILDFA last year. Don was good enough to give them two straws and I got one at a very good price and I appreciate him doing it. My only problem now is to decide which doe to put it in. I love this business.
Moses is making a nice jump this year. He will definetly be over 250", time will tell how far over. I will post some photos when he gets closer to finishing.
Aaron, I would donate a straw of Moses for that breeding ...... as long as I am guaranteed a buck fawn in return!

What buck fawn interest you? I have some pretty good pedigree does that would be fun to change our breeding a bit on. Chick Magnet and Hi Tines mother has produced twin buck fawns for us 3 years in a row till this year we had a buck and a doe fawn out of her. The sad thing was the buck fawn was still born. But that doe has some decent looking brothers on the ground. So I think I might be able to find something good to try in her. 
Moses doesnt sound too bad at all. I can’t wait to see pictures of him. But than again that doe might not be bad to breed to Moses. Let’s throw some ideas around. Aaron keep me posted to what you’re thinking. I’m off to feed the bucks. They walk right up to us in the morning, 15ft or so away! That’s quite fun when there are 85 of them doing that.

Wild Rivers,
That buck has some MASS, not to mention great uptines. What is the dam side to him??

Don, you must be really ticked off about Moses. I mean 29 points? I know you only like the clean typicals so I assume you won't be breeding with him any more. Maybe just give him to Aaron
Roger, what makes you think he isnt a clean typical? Havent you ever seen a clean 15x14 buck before? I am just hoping that the right buyer comes along for Moses so that I can finance my clean typical fetish. Wanna make the first bid?
