Loyd, that is one great looking buck! I will get a hold of Paul and have him get with you on this. He has been pretty busy lately, and doesn't have as much time to get up here as he would like, but I don't think you have anything to worry about just yet, just make sure it is not interfering with him feeding.
Hey Scott and Jeremiah, thanks for the kind words and explaining what Shock Effect does for the deer. Scott, I'm glad you're happy with it, hope it exceeds all your expectations.
Mike, I will try to give you a quick explanation of what the Shock Effect Genetic Enhancer is, and what it does for the deer, to expand on what Jeremiah and Scott have said.
"Shock Effect was formulated for several reasons.
The first one was overall health of the deer, second was antler development. We knew that probiotics would play a major role in the future of helping to keep our deer healthy and help to grow bigger racks by increasing their absorption rate. It starts with the bacteria package itself. Because of the way a whitetails digestive system works and the speed of their metabolism, the micro-encapsulation processes were the best option. We then had to find out which encapsulation process was best suited for the whitetails digestive system. Once we knew which process we wanted, it came down to the bacteria count itself. Through some friends we were able to locate what we believe is the best micro-encapsution lab in the country. With the bacteria count at its optimal level in the deer's digestive system it leaves much less room for any bad bacteria to take hold and grow to levels that will affect the deer in a negative way. Next on the agenda was to find out what amino acid combinations would increase blood flow and expand blood vessels the most. Then we added Kelp because it has 28% minerals by weight. The minerals are naturally chelated to enhance the bio-availability. Kelp consists of over 70 vitamins, minerals, trace elements, enzymes and natural growth hormones. We also found a cactus plant known as Yucca Schidigera whose sole purpose is for intestinal health. This made for a complete package from start to finish all in one product."
Remember, Shock Effect is all natural. Whatever the deer's body doesn't use goes straight out the back end. It will not make the bucks grow more than their genetics and feed will allow. As stated above, it gives you the maximum potential of the genetics you have as well as the maximum potential of the food your feeding. We spend way too much money on both not get the maximum potential from both.
As anyone who has talked to me at any of the shows or auctions can tell you, as I start talking to them, I explain to them that
this product starts and ends with herd health. A healthier buck will grow a bigger rack. I explain to them that it will not turn a 170" genetic buck into a 250" buck. Will it help him grow a larger rack, yes, but as the name "Genetic Enhancer" states, it only enhances what you already have to its maximum potential.
If anyone has any further questions about the Shock Effect products, you can call Steve or Paul and they can explain the product more thoroughly to you. You can get more information and their contact info from the website.

Sorry for being so long, but this is about as short as I could make it. Hopefully it makes scense to you.
