Default RE: Shooting young bucks?
ORIGINAL: Germ

Are we talking buck or doe?

Shooting to many young bucks will not allow for a fun rut. What happens is to many young bucks breed. This cause bad genetic on both sides does and bucks to creep in.

Look at states like Iowa they have 50% or below 1.5 buck harvest per year. States like MI isup around 75%.
I am talking about bucks .... another question ..... how does a buck at 1.5 years old produce bad genetics? If he lives to 3.5, does his ability to produce good genetics go up?
