:::SIGH::: ad-puke, the only one "shocked" at the well-described and long in existence operation was the OP. As to the world record, I suppose the antlers were glued on and regarding feedlot cervids, unlike here in the south, I did not see a single feeding station and I'll let the photos speak for themselves as far as the terrain. While there is no doubt elk in an eight square mile high fence operation lead short lives, I worked pretty darned hard for mine.


A good principle to guide me through life: “This is all I have come to expect, standard lackluster performance. Trust nothing, believe no one and realize it will only get worse…”
