That is a gorgeous buck an absolute monster, just beautiful big mass
Incredibly video, the ranch, deer,flying, finding the shed, the shooting, the information you share is so damn fascinating. Thank you for sharing
Thanks 🙏
Y’all are great!!! Thanks guys!!!!
M & M is one Magnificent Buck ! He definitely is the
(EL GIGANTE) of Texas !👍
Impressive deer!
Awesome 👏 I
👍👍
We're going to find his antlers........yeah, right! And you find them, amazing! Around here if you find an antler, it's an accident! We don't have enough deer, plus 2 four lane highways to cull everything. Big, little, whatever get knocked off. Nice to see what happens when you can get a deer to live to maturity and how the antlers grow over the years.
It is. We have a sweet spot
Good buddies doing work.
Kool Stories!!!
At 67 I've made a point when someone that ain't ever did diddly tells me what I arta do , I DONT haha 😆
What a nice Buck for sure. OUTSTANDING.
Thanks for the great content.
Another great segment. Looking forward to updates.
A wonderful method to document the "legend of Mendota Max", I really appreciate your approach to game management.
Two miles! Unbelievable shot that is awesome!
You’re the first one to catch that 👍🏼
@@themendotaranch I beg to differ, sir. I watched the video and gushed when you made that shot!😆I thought more gushing would be inappropriate 🤣
In all honesty I may have downplayed how thrilled I was so I didn't come across as a creep.😆
Helluva shot though, helluva shot!
@@shotgunbettygaming 😁. Good deal. Thanks
Do the dear eat enough off your feeder to change the taste of the meat? I hope that isn't a stupid question.
Great question. Between the deer feed and the alfalfa you would think so but it still tastes like crap 😁
Another great job, enjoy your videos.
Can't wait for next year!
About time you put a video out boss!!!!
At least I know next year Max will be bax!
Amazing video thanks for sharing. Would like to see some cutting horse videos if you have any.
So how did you know him once he lost antlers ? Do you have them tagged or marked somehow?
No tag I just know him from his markings. Just like knowing a cow or a horse
@@themendotaranch just found your channel. I’m hooked. How do you manage the deer? Do you own them? How are you able to cull deer out of season? I’m from Alberta. Quite sure someone would loose their mind if we did that here. At least if they got caught lol
Awesome,just unbelievable how big he is year after year, I love it !
Same here
Jasper is a fine name for you colt!
Great video Jason! No better way to spend a wintry morning than to be learning the history of Mendota Max! You sure have developed a method or way or system with your deer population, and that is all I need ask about that. One of those stories to look forward to about this time of each year. -Bob...
Long live Mendota Max!!!
It's your place do what you want
👍
What caliber were you using to do the 2 mile shot. Very impressive
300 Norm
It's pretty cool to see Max's sheds on mounts throughout the years. Plus having a helicopter to survey your own land!! I must say that's a goal and dream of mine...
Aight.
Always enjoy your content. I am a fellow rotor pilot in KY. What brand of camera do you use for the 360 degree views?
I just git a insta 360 3x. I like it because it’s easy to use and you can plug your audio in
I haven't heard yet if the 8 pointer that Audrey shot was indeed a state record. Was it?
Waiting on the dry time 60 day. The big game official score has it at 179 7/8 net. Kills the old record
Thanks for answering, please let us know when you know...
Hell yeah , collect his sheds and let that beast live and spread his genes , now that's deer management at its finest .
How much would you guess that he weighs?
260# on the hoof
What's the average lifespan of a deer like him if left alone by predators? He's a beast!
I don’t know about average. We lose a lot of buck at three from fighting but I see some live up in there teens
Max is a wonder of nature. I am still in awe of him. I'd like to see y'all collab with some of the YT hunters. Those young bucks (lol) could learn a thing or two from y'all. Seek One in GA is a great group, and Andrew Flair in NE. He has a huge chunk of low fence land that he's learning to manage. Good people trading good knowledge can't go wrong. Love y'all.
were you showing Max any. have not seen any thing atall
Instagram and shorts
I always enjoy your helicopter adventure videos.
Thanks again for putting out another helpful helicopter video with excellent video, content, sound and information.
Love what you are doing with your deer population. I'm excited to see the next video of your "new" 2 year old. BTW how did your niece do in the riding competition she was in?
Needs some more practice 😊
Paisano's Roost Farm (American Blackbelly Sheep) in Southern New Mexico: Yeah! Another American Pickers Helicopter edition. Thank you for the mood booster. We've had 2 ram emergencies in 2 months. The Feb edition involved Gage and Fox getting hooked. Hubby and I got them separated without using the reciprocating saw on the horns. Fox went into shock and hubby learned how to administer the sheep drench and put a sheep in the recovery position (Sandi Brock' RUclips channel)
Gives new meaning to shed hunting
Why not use a DMP pen and let him breed 10-15 doe from him instead of the average 2.2?? I’ve done the Lap ai and bottle raising and it gets old really quick. The best thing is have a big beautiful buck that mirrors or produces better then him…. Dies he produce???
You have to be high fenced to have a DMP. I’m low fenced
I look forward to this antler pick up every year!!! Good job!!
Please show us the mount when you get it back !!
Never geard if shed hunting from a helicopter!!!
Is it time to harvest Max?
Absolutely not.
Never😢
Would love to see your other big bucks in next episodes.
WOW!
Not gonna lie, I'm realllly glad y'all didn't cull Max. I get the rush of taking a big deer down, but man, those are the genetics you REALLY want to keep around! Especially if he's keen enough to survive this long, he'd be a good mentor for younger versions of himself!
Handsome, handsome boy!!
When you said you got more of a thrill out of culling the junkers I smiled. I would too! Max is making you change your game up a little!! Yeah, I'd be trying to make the entire harem Max's so the standard deer on property was like him! Quasi-cloning, but au naturale. Take THAT you politicians! 😆
Quite a rack on display there, gonna be a sad day when you find the last set.
I know you & Todd talked about how big deer are the norm now compared to a few years back when y'all were hunting the bigguns, but have you ever saw a younger deer and KNEW he was Max's spawn? By just looking at him?
I've seen what you mean about Max stepping up to the feeder on your trail cam footage you've released, the others just step away and wait til he's done. At first I wasn't sure if it was because he kept everyone in check as Boss Man or if they just didn't want to dance with that rack at the feeder😂
Do his antlers tell tales of combat at all? You mentioned how he's a bit skittish and would run from you, but I was curious if ALL animals steer clear of him because he's an ass kicker. Or you think he's just a runner and that's how he's survived so long? I'm curious about combat scarring on his antlers for sure.
LOVE having you in the INBOX! Can't wait for more footage of the new nameless horse, looking forward to see how he's come along! He seemed like a nice good boy who was eager to learn and to please. Give him a pat from Betty!
Hope this finds y'all well and in good health! I've recently gotten into kefir fermented milk and I'm buzzing right now with vitamin B, so I'm off to jam my hands into some potting soil again. Got some plants to split and repot....I thought gardening in the desert was tough (I lived in Las Vegas most of my adult life), but I'll tell you what...western Washington is the pits. For a LOT of reasons, but the sun just doesn't exist here. I fantasize about the sun you get down there. Sometimes I've even paused your videos at certain points just to mill over what I'd plant there, or there or over there🤣
If ever you see a visage of some phantom gardening in the misty hours of the morning...it's probably me. Sorry if I spook you🤣
Take care and see you when we see you!!👋
Weather also the colder weather they drop faster
I love it. I wouldn't shoot him either
He is a butieful nontyipical buck love to see him when ya harvest him bud
Not going to harvest max… he will die of old age on the ranch
@@kingsolomon8946 get as much his genetics and offspring as possible I understand that to grow the herd on the ranch
Awesome video you guys have good eyes to see from a helicopter. It would be fun to see him without his horns. Are you wanting a barn name or a registered name?
Both
What’s the sire and dams name?
@@marykaywohlert9228 CD Reloaded. Clone of Sister CD. X. Ruby 2 clone of Playboys Ruby
@@themendotaranch G’day Jason Bonnie Team followers & Co ;-)
Potential Horse name Reg “ MENDOTA REPLAY”
Barn Name “REPA”
Max is sure laying down some terrific genetics for your future, thanks for the education.
With many source blessings with truth clarity love light laughter happiness joy fun play creativity adventures abundance wisdom wealth and may peace be with you all! Victoria Australia 🇦🇺 xoxo 😘
Both. I’ll post an update video next Sunday with a naming competition
Idea drill say 20lbs of oats on that old stand of alfalfa it'll make tonnage for sure Then you'd be working that field nice for your next crop maybe Sudan you'd put up 8+ ton of quality feed
Thanks. Will do
