Genetics or ???
I've read alot of speculation that if you let the "smaller" horned bucks go that the antlers will be bigger the next season.
Yesterday I took a 4 point that followed the same symmetry as a spike and 3 point I have taken in the same area the past few years.
I also have 2 monsters on my trail cam that I've been monitoring the past month.
I think genes plays a major role in how large a deer's antlers will get.
What do you think?
