Here are some of the bucks that have a good start going here at Red Ridge. They are all two year old's less Quest and Tidal Wave. Great bucks everyone! Wild Rivers you have something special going on there...WOW!
We find that how far along a buck is right now is in direct relation to when he lost his antlers. Ballistic dropped his early and will probably stop growing earlier. We have some that lost their antlers the beginning of April and are just getting going. It is still hard to tell at this stage of the game what you will end up with!
Thanks for the compliments on Ballistic - he may not be pretty but he sure is something else!
Here is another three year old we have Riptide. He had multiple bones removed from his front foot this winter due to an infection and his other foot is not 100%. I have no idea how he has grown even this much.
Your older bucks look like they're getting an early and good start. You had a younger buck that was growing antler last Dec. that you posted a picture of that I believe you co-own with John Ward. If you could post a picture of that rare buck along with a pedigree it would be appreciated. I'm sure I wasn't the only one taken back by that X-Mas photo you posted some six months ago. Thanks. Joe
Ballistic looks great. A friend of mine was worried about jinxing bucks by just naming them. I think you will do well with him and I'm sure he will add some character to the offspring of those off-colored does. Is Ballistic out of a Jack doe? I believe he is probably too old to come out of one of your BM Bill daughters. Please reply at your convenience and it is nice to see good things happening for you. Joe
Rip tide and hydro broad ax are looking good. Loyd I will check and see how hydro explosion is looking. Mike Matthews and Tom bruit said he was looking good about a week ago.Good luck to everyone this summer.TWIN LAKES PARADISE MARK PIERCE
Ballistic is out of HyJax - who is a High Roller son. HyJax dam side is a Jack doe. Ballistic's mother would be a Redoy Ruger doe.
We are pretty excited about him - we think he scores over 350 already with more than 50 points. He also is going to be wider than he was last year. Last year at 2 years old he scored 356 and he is much bigger this year. He is also much more symmetrical this year.
