We used to have a lot of basket racks at our farm. They just never got much bigger spread wise or much bigger then an 8 point. Several years ago we decided to try to eliminate that genetic pool. This has allowed for better bucks to move into the area and produce a better genetic pool. It has taken this a few years to happen but my fried that hunts the farm says that the bucks have almost doubled in antler size this year.

Some may disagree with this method, but this was suggested to me by as acquaintance who is a biologist for the Dept of Conservation. It has seemed to work. To bad I can’t hunt my home ground till my wife is done with Physician Assistant School out here in New York.
