Why are they're antlers most always white?

No trees in there stable to rub on

Negative sir.

sun bleaches the horns…not much shade in the pens…at least that's what a guy that breeds deer says

My take is that every shed turns white. Deer have whiter horns later in the year as the minerals dry up. Most enclosed deer are of a northern variety and lose their velvet a month or so before native deer meaning their horns are lighter colored earlier in the year. Just my opinion.

I think a lot of the guides polish them with Clorox while they have them tranzilized when they release them from the pen into the high fence. Makes the racks look bigger to the guy paying $15K to shoot a high fenced deer ;D

Antler color is driven by genetics, and to a much lesser degree what they rub on. Some plants/trees stain the antlers, but the color is genetically driven.

Bingo!!

Y'all be nice. Killing a high fence buck is just as hard as killing one on public land, according to some

pretty sure you just made that statement up.....

I can't understand why anyone would want to kill a pet. like shooting cows or something.

does the fence suck their brains out????

Given the right operation, 1000 acre + enclosure has deer that act just like any other wild deer. They are affected by humans, they go nocturnal etc. No different than free range deer except that you can somewhat control what comes in or out. With that said sure you could feed them and get them accustomed to coming in for feed but you can do that in a free ranging herd as well.

Deer in a pen are starving so it makes them easier to kill. I know several guys with 1,000+ acre pens and they are always complaining on the thousands they spend feeding them. The pens I have been in(not hunting) have zero browse. You can't find a leaf till 8ft off the ground. The ground is spotless

Then they are not keeping the herd thinned out. Letting the property get over populated. This can happen anywhere.

you can put deer on a concrete floor and feed em pelleted feed and they won't starve. Just because there is no browse dosen't mean the deer are starving. Never seen an enclosure where the deer were starving.....

"how is the shooter an underdog????? is everyone that hunts outside a high fence an underdog??? shooting a defenseless cow is "awesome"??? Hmmmm....."
You seemed to think so the other day.

directed to me? Bc if so I'm lost and need to be caught up.

No not at you

I don't think you guys understand the amount of money it takes to feed deer in a 1,000 acre pen. I don't guess you have been to many pens either. It takes between 500-750 a year to raise a buck. That's not counting the does. I said the deer are always hungry being their sole food source is that provided by the owner and that in turn makes the easy to shoot at a protein feeder.
