I just wanted to inform everyone that Sudden Impact passed away last night.
Thank you to everyone who called once they heard he had gotten sick. At this point we don't know the exact cause of his death. He did have some antler damage and maggots on the antlers which I am sure was a part of the problem
In regards to Sudden Impact he was truly an amazing animal. Our family has been very fortunate to have raised a good number of very nice deer but there has never been one close to Sudden Impact. I may be biased but in my opinion he is the greatest whitetail to ever live to this point.
Sudden Impact scored 281 as a yearling and 406 at age 2. This year at age 3 his rack scored 492 and weighed 31lbs. Had he not damaged he very likely would have scored over 500.
As we look back the name Sudden Impact could not be more fitting as this buck did make a Sudden Impact on our farm and the deer industry. Sudden Impact had an incredible group of sons on our farm this year. At a 160+" average, his yearlings will be 40-50" bigger than our average yearlings. Most have great big frames and great looks to them. We were not the only ones with great sons out of Sudden Impact. Thank you to those who chose to AI with him. Thank you for sharing with us the photos of your great yearlings out of Sudden Impact.
Sudden Impacts life may have been cut short but the impact this deer will have on the whitetail industry will live on forever.
