All the bucks posted are really looking good. Congrats to everyone on all those big big deer.
We went down by Springfield on Sunday to Darren Deckard’s, Rusty and Susan Carrol’s and the Xtreme boys. All I can say is wow! Icon, Knothead and the rest of the bucks at Rusty’s were huge. He just keeps putting them out! Big bucks were all over!
The Extreme boys had a pen of 2 year olds featuring Alpha and Omega (XL sons), 2 big Sonny Jr. sons, and a Hardcore son. The pen was all 2 year olds and they all had antlers like 4-5 year old deer. It was amazing! Sonny Jr. , Extreme, and Select all looked huge!
Darren’s deer were also huge! I was really impressed with Redline, a couple of his 2 year olds, overload and his yearlings! Redline is one of those special bucks that makes you wonder how he does it. When he turns his head, his antlers already wobble! All of his points were still rounded off and growing strong! I don’t know how he will finish but I would guess he is easily over 300 and headed up from there.
I didn’t get any pictures while I was looking. All 3 farms planned on taking their own so I only took one picture of a buck at Darren’s that I really liked. He is named “Sterling” and is a Sonny Jr. over a Drifter Doe. I am trying to talk him into selling him. He has over 45 points and is a little too “non-typical” for his program (HA).
I was really impressed by how nice all 3 farms were and how much work has gone into them. They should all be very proud. If you have time, they are all very close and worth every minute. Thank you to all 3 farms for the time and hospitality.
Here is the only picture I took of Sterling, the 2 year old Sonny Jr/Drifter buck!
