We have some pics some where will have to dig for them. He damaged his Right side early so that side is narrow, but his left looked just like last year.

think my pictures were on a text and the phone they were on had an official burial a couple of weeks ago. LOL
here are some pictures that Ed Miller emailed me of some yearlings out of him. He only has 4 yearlings out of him because he sold many does that were bred to him.

Awesome. Speaking of weights I was running buck fawns two days ago to vaccinate with our Pneu-Vac 2 product and we had a Savage Nation/Amazon/0064/PJ/#33 fawn that was 130#. I was shocked. Had to run him back out of the box reset the scale and recheck! Are you using Road Rage again?

Road Rage is a huge tall long bodied buck. I took that buck fawns mother and a couple Arty doe to Ed's place for pasture breedings last fall. His body size affirmed to me he was my kind of deer. His antlers were very impressive as well. My Road Rage/Arty buck fawn has the biggest widest skull of any of our buck fawns. I have no idea what he weighs. I am guessing 80-100lbs.
The Thunderstorm doe of Jerri Lee's is one of Rural King's sisters. She is anchored by Big Tea's grand dam. That buck fawn will get big.

Josh,
I hate to say that this year I do not think we are ai'ing anything. Coby wants to take the year of and breed with what we have. Our lap ai last year ended up a disaster in that 3 out of 22 does bred and 4 does did not breed at all last fall with 3 others being very very late. Total disaster!!!!!! Oh and also lost a big guy doe to boot the night of the lap. And our other big guy doe did not breed along with our banjo yearlings mom.

One of the best guys you will ever meet. If anyone is interested in semen I can get you in contact with him.

Sucks on those Big Guy girls. I think Big Guy does will be solid for years to come in quite a few breeding programs.

we had 3 of them Josh and lost one to ehd, lost the one after AI and the other did not breed :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry:
I sure hope the one we have left breeds this year. I do not think we are going to bring any more outside deer into the herd.
all our additions from now on will be through AI from here on out. Just too risky with all these traces. If we were not in this business now I doubt we would be in it due to all of the ISSUES.

Jerrilee, interesting you mention losing the doe after the LAP AI, this seems to be a subject no one wants to discuss ( the number of does lost to complications to the LAP AI procedure). I know of a deerfarmer who lost 12 does from complications of the LAP AI procedure.

Pdaddy,
Since I had not lapped before myself and I had expensive semen I had someone else do it that has done a bunch. Sometimes there are circumstances beyond our control and regurgitation IS a risk, but but 4 does not breeding is perplexing to me.

I will chime in and add that some of my doe were also lap AI-ed the same day at Jerri lee's and none settled. What is odd to me is that I also brought four additional doe that were synchronized the exact same way and Jerri Lee AI-ed them vaginally as the lap AI was nearing completion. Three of those four stuck to the vaginal AI. The year before Jerri Lee vaginally AI-ed for us with the same semen two of the same doe that missed lap and they both stuck. The lap ai's all missing was indeed very odd. Thankfully I didn't lose any doe and all mine bred to the backup buck.
