Multi Million Dollar Buck at Blackjack Whitetails

Gotta say, it gives me hope for the future of our outdoorsmen seeing so many comments talking about hunters harvesting their deer the old fashion way. Seeing them on the trail cam, scouting for sign, setting up a stand, and putting the work in to harvest a nice wild trophy. I agree, nothing better than th e experience of a true, wild hunt. And it's not that I'm totally against this kind of deer farming, but I have a much greater appreciation for old fashioned, traditional hunting. Cheers

It's truly impressive how humans can take something so majestic and turn it into a million dollar science fair project.

It’s incredible seeing the potential that deer have but you wouldn’t catch me dead at a high fence ranch

i hunt on a 30 acre farm with a low fence. my biggest buck is a 8 pointer. i worked hard for him. i'd never feel proud to kill something like this.

Seeing people pay to hunt farmed animals is absolutely mind blowing to me.

It’s pretty crazy how this is looked at in a positive way by some people. Makes you think how diverse this world is with thought. I can’t ever think that this would make me happy. I hunted my whole life wild game hogs that’s it. This kinda feels like a pussy level of getting a trophy and could only be solved by scrapping it out in the lawn.

I have hunted for big bucks since the 80s. Never have killed one on a plot or feeder. My state of Oklahoma started promoting trophy hunting , feeding and dropped the harvest limit in the 90s. I new then our resident hunting was going to be in trouble. All of that deer farming and buck limits did just what I thought it would. Now our traditional hometown hunting places are being bought or leased out by wealthy out of state hunters. Most of Southern Oklahoma is being bought by Texicans. Hunting is well on its way to being a rich man's sport. They have no problem shooting trophy's like these store bought deer.

Deer farming and high fence hunting is the absolute worst possible aspect of the hunting industry. It contributes nothing to the conservation of whitetails, and is all about making a profit. Farms and high fences are the sources of many CWD outbreaks in wild populations which can cause devastating effects on the wild herds. They say Blackjack is a multi-million dollar deer. Imagine what that money could do towards the conservation of wild sheep or other big games species that are struggling across North America, instead of being spent on a penned up deer so some guys in Texas can buy his semen or fawns to send to a high fence hunting area. It honestly shocks me that Keith Warren has a platform as big as he does in the hunting industry, considering is he the most phony “outdoorsman” I have ever seen in my life. I hardly ever see him spending his money on fair chase hunts that help the conservation of wild species, and instead helps fill the pockets of greedy ranches and farms. And to top it off, he does stupid shit like hunting whitetails with a .50 BMG, which is complete overkill for basically any animal in North America, let alone a penned whitetail. Natural wild life would be so much better off without these high fences and farms, and I’d love to chat with anyone who has to say otherwise.

I wouldn't pay $5 dollars for a genetically farmed deer like these! What a disgrace to nature!

Took a 140 » 10 point in Tn on public land. Priceless. Worth more then any paid deer and I’m just as proud. I put in the work.

Their antlers looked deformed and unnatural to me.

The wide BlackJack-type racks are sweet, but that massive "higher and tighter" rack with a much heavier mass on the monster at the 7.28 mark, to me, is by FAR one of the best bucks in there. That buck is AWESOME!

I’m not for this kind of deer farming or high fence operations. This is not what hunting should be.

It's so sad to see them create these freaks of nature.

I see bucks like Blackjack and other genetically engineered deer, and all it does is scream "deer farm". To me, their racks reach a point of looking hideous. Looking at one that's been mounted, the first two thoughts that cross my mind are "What shooting gallery did this thing come from?", and "How many thousands of dollars did you pay for this thing?" I much prefer bucks who have expressed their full genetic potential through TSI, healthy, nutritious food plots, and well managed habitat. I do realize that in today's world, most people who command high incomes work so many hours that they don't have time to manage a hunting property in such a way that bucks, does, fawns, or other wildlife will realize their genetic potentials, so "hunting" in shooting galleries stocked with genetically engineered, pen raised, "mine's bigger than yours" bucks is about their only hope for bagging a buck. Not my idea of a good time, but it's their time and their money.

Those are what I call Great Ones

High fence isn't hunting. I'm a hunter I wish they would shut all high fence hunting down. It's not fair chase. Period Point Blank The End

Real deer hunters do not care to shoot a deer with a ear tags and dollar signs not impressed one bit

I would rather go shoot a wild 6 point then a high fence 22 point

As a hunter. This makes me sick, but I gotta ask who goes to “man to hand combat” to extract the alien juice from this thing.
