Pretty Boy Floyd

T.R.O. said:
Don and Aaron, I also have a martygraw doe and some straws of Rancher but not sure if I am going to use Pretty Boy Floyd or Rancher on her this year. Or also a possible TYPICAL secret weapon.





Care to elaborate on this "secret weapon"? Sounds like we have something in common:)
 
JDR, grats on the Proud Eagle inpregnation! I have a Proud Eagle Doe which Rod let me live cover to Rancher, last fall:) I was just out to that "Little known deer farmer in Michigans" place today. The ***** got baby bumps and the boys got baby bumps on thier heads:D It has'nt been warm up here in Mi. but Rancher is up between 2" and 3" he is looking great. Blue 33 seemed to be a consistant good producer for All Out Whitetails. Unfortunately she died last spring. She had complications birthing triplets. Rod saved a doe and buck fawn out that ordeal. They are out of Big Guy. She had 4 sets of fawns total. Proud Eagle and his Brothers (trips) in 05, Rancher and his brother High Rise in 06, twin does out of Silverstorm in 07 and 1 buck,and1 doe out of Big guy in 08. Good luck on the Proud Eagle sons and daughters!
 
Don, I cant let out the big secrets on here!! You know that! Dont say we have something in common, thats scary. Im sure you could elaborate on some of your postings and replys as well. You have a secret weapon?? Im tempted to put a straw on WE but seeing what barely proven typicals are bringing I dont want to chance it until I have giants to show that this is what this dude can produce. I may work out some deals with guys that are interested in sending me a personal message. Il supply the straw for a buck or doe fawn in exchange depending on what the straw is going into. Im looking for Rancher, Pretty boy floyd, and Martygraw does. And Im looking for those 3 does to buy anyways so anyone out there that is willing to work out some deals get ahold of me.
 
TRO- you got a new handle since these message boards moved didnt you??? I didnt realize who I was talking to ...... didnt realize it was one of those radicals!!:) Dont we already have a deal for one of those secret weapon straws to come my way?











On the subject of typicals; on the Wednesday night auction there is a straw of Englunds Maximus, does anyone have any sons from him or know of any sons of him? I used him on 1 doe last fall
 
Yeap! Ive always got to stay one step ahead of you Don. I was wondering how long it would take for an old dog to catch on to new tricks. haha... But, yeah since Im a nice guy I already made a deal with you! You help us out enough that I dont mind giving you a sample of the best secret weapon out there. I know when that monster pops up on your farm youll remember that it was a RADICAL that gave you the straw!!! hopefully everything turns out for the best with these typical lines and we can get the best combinations possible to achieve that 250" 7x7!!

Jed damaged his left pedical @2 and still scored around 247". Mark Pierce has a video of Jed, Hydroax, Pretty Boy Floyd and Skyhigh when they were 3. Very impressive. Mark's biggest yearling was out of Jed last year. We have a Jed doe bred back to Pretty Boy Floyd. Can't wait to see the results.
 
Steve,

What a GREAT looking deer!!! When it comes to TYPICALS, Mark is writing the book!!! Hydroax, Pretty Boy Floyd, Sky High... Wow what's next?



Chad
 
I would have to agree with you guys!! Mark is writing the book! One day when each of us have our huge typical producers like Martygraw, we will become the authors. We all get to use PBF and Martygraw to help get our golden buck but it just takes time. Martygraw Rancher and PBF should all be exploding soon due to the typical wants. Only takes time before I have my 7x7 that everyone is going to be loving. The years that I have been in this business I have learned one thing. Always gotta stay positive, have high hopes, and set your goals high. well i guess 3 things.
 
We used a buck that was defineately on his way to being a great typical producer. He was around the 215" - 220" mark at 2 with very little side to side deduction. He HAD it mass, width, 6X6, tine length you name it. Next year he went 242 hard horn score and went COMPLETELY non typical. Terrible look. Needless to say he is now gone.
 
Aaron, What all do you have with Pretty Boy Floyd? You have any straws from him still or does for sale out of him or what are you working with?

And If you were wondering who I am I bought Lucy from you haha. I cant tell if you knew who I am when I switched to the new forums. Lucy is still doing amazing!! Her fawn runs wild with a doe bred to GB Buckster not tame at all!!
 
Thats the great Storm genetics at their best. Beautiful typical genetics just a little on the wild side. We have all of the Floyd stuff "locked down" till we see what it does. Right now we have a little of this and a little of that bred. Will fill you in when we see some horns!

T.R.O. - What kind of deal will you work out with this buck you are talking about? I may have some does that would work into what you are talking about. :)



Aaron CCDR- Do you have any Rancher, Pretty boy Floyd, and Martygraw does that you are planning on using? If not what kind of typical does do you have that you are planning on using to establish your typical herd?
 
A couple weeks ago I listed a Jack jr. (Jack the Ripper) and a Bodatious (Pride/Dreamer) doe both bred to Rancher in the ad section. I have now decided to keep these does and sell ONE fawn out of each of them. If any one is interested in Rancher fawns, let me know.
 
Thinking about selling a Marty Graw X Redoy Roller 2008 doe. Do you think there might be any interest in her? I have several on this line of breeding so I might let one go.
 
Aaron that should be a good cross there. Redoy Roller is very good breeding going back to Pebbles on the bottom side. Also having those long tines and a great looking frame he should mix well with Marty Graw.



Since everyone is so excited about Pretty Boy Floyd I wonder how many will be bidding on the lot in the sale that runs today and tomorrow? I thought about bidding myself but will stay out of it this time. I wouldn't mind getting a doe out of a Pretty Boy Floyd x Buckeye cross. Big frames and 6x6 or better mainframes. A little **** out of that will give someone a great jump towards the big typicals.

As far as I can see that is the only offering like it in the auction. It is lot number 76.
 
Aaron

I think you would have good interest in that doe. I really like that combination. I have a 3 year old doe that is Redoy Roller / R4 (B&B Genetics doe). We AId her to Weatherby. I have my fingers crossed that this combonation will work.
 
Greg,



That is what we were thinking too in planning the breeding. Redoy Roller had a very nice frame that just needed cleaned up. Hopefully the Martygraw will do just that. I also am trying Vortex X Redoy Roller doe bred to Martygraw. Hopefully it works for us. Do you have any bucks out of your Redoy Roller yet.
