RE: deformed racks
It sounds like one deer that is messed up is passing his genes on to many deer. Or it could be that a few deer in the area are passing these bad genes. Pretty much the only way to get rid of the bad genes are to shoot the deer. Just invite some friends over and tell them to shoot only the bucks with screwed up antlers. Then hoprfully you will see some bettergenes in your bucks.
