Read the research guys. Dr. John Ozaga and others have done some research over the years and the long an short of it is this:
Shoot Small does and Big bucks. If you don't have a choice, go for it.
Big does breed best (larger fawns and twins), And big bucks...well you know.
Maybe he needs to talk with Dr. James Kroll better known as Dr. Deer. He has research ranches in texas and Michigan and will tell you point blank that to have a successful deer herd you need old bucks and young does. If you would like to know more you can email him at
