I've been to hunting and fishing shows and have seen  mounts, some deer with up to 20 points or more.   It's strange how mother nature can throw a curve on what was thought correct

There are a few people around here ( Ohio ) that raise Elk, Deer, Caribou, Bison  you name it.  Looks like the Fallow Deer got loose.

All I can say is:  "NICE RACK"   ;D
