if that buck was 3 1/2, i'd say cull him, if i was on private land. Bad genetic in the herd that 3X3 rack is. This a perfectly good reason why AR's don't work. This buck could potentially be passing on those crappy genes because everyone is whacking the 1 1/2 and 2 1/2 year old 8 points. AR's are just a temporary solution that will fail in the long term. If people would just show restraint, they'd have some bigger bucks.
