with all this cloning biz in the media, i knew it was just a matter of time[:(!]
Texas A&M University researchers began a white-tailed deer cloning project last fall intended to increase scientists' knowledge of deer genetics, says Dr. Mark E. Westhusin, associate professor of the school's Veterinary Medicine Department. The project is focused on the combination of feed and genetic background needed to produce large bucks.

Westhusin says the information gathered from the cloning project could be used to produce larger bucks with bigger antlers that would appeal to Texas hunters.

He says all the deer clones have been implanted in the surrogate mothers and the timeline of the project will remain unknown until the first deer clone has been born.

Figures, there jealous of the publicity the mid-west has taken over the so called "deer hunting mecca" Texas state. They need something new to take them into the lead.
