For deer to get this big they need 3 factors,genetics ,good food and age and it all comes together.Plus if he had high hormonal levels this will cause this to happen and high testosterone levels can be passed down through genetics if they live close by for long period of time. So who knows what's kicken around out that way.

I was one that at first looked at the deer, and the area, and the first thought was "high fence hunt". Seeing that it certainly appears it was a legit free range, what can one say but, "Holy, flippin' shat!"

He has trail cam pics of this buck from last year on his Instagram page https://www.instagram.com/p/BqA4a4Eh...=1hqhszp23ed37

You can hunt as hard as you want and be the best hunter in the world but if your hunting in an area where there isn’t any big bucks. Your not going to kill a big buck.

Quit giving away all the secrets to success!!
Next you'll be telling people you can't kill a 170" deer by shooting the first 150" you see..

Talked to the guy at the ATA show last week, very humble and down to earth kind of guy, no bragging about what a great hunter and such. Congrats to him.

Lol what’s wrong with shooting 3 year old 150” whitetail. That’s as big as they are ever going to get

Now THAT is funny.😂
But yes,it’s really cheap if you live on a rural property,hunt from your back porch,don’t burn any fuel to hunt,cut and wrap yourself,don’t take any unpaid leave from work,lug it on your back vs a new quad, hunt with Grandpa’s Lee Enfield and a 10 year old box of ammo that’s taken 17 deer and still 3 rounds remaining.

Unfortunately, high-fence and genetic breeders have ruined it for all of us (OK for me at least)...especially if it comes out of the US...they have been obsessed with creating the "Ultimate Buck". I can't seem to trust these deer, majestic as they are...I don't know how the B&C or P&Y can keep track. On another thread they are talking about guys that are shipping poached heads out of Canada for some weird market in the states or Mexico....I remember (as a kid) seeing pictures of truly "Fair Chase" trophies and dreaming that I may see, or ever have a chance to take, something of that caliber. I still marvel at seeing big bucks, but for the most part look at a lot of these "new records" with deep suspicion rather than genuine awe.

Also in these areas of the states, Illinois Iowa, and such they have counties and lots of them with a average of 70 deer per square mile!
Those are huge numbers, and the feed to maintain it.
No wonder there are crankers down there.
They also have state reps that no how to manage game, to bad Alberta does not have some of the same management.
Great deer, and great to see.
