Default RE: Genetics conundrum...

Josh, that is kind of what I was thinking as well. But, generally, the pregnancy risk is more on the female side than from the male, so it would wserve to reasoon that his genes are the same regardless. Acquired traits are not passed on, so even if he had some undesirable characteristicts as an older deer, his big rack of 5 1/2 would still be the potential end result of what the fawns would get.
