Its not genetic mutation, its "genetic selection" and when he has clients that come and hunt and can manage his herd by killing as many deer as he wants on the farm, he is practicing "genetic selection" by killing as many of those 8 pt or other kull bucks leaving the big 10s and 12s to do most of the breeding. While free range sportsman manage deer herds by practicing quality deer manangment on their land they are killing mature bucks but not selecting genetics because its simply impossible because you have to abide by state regs on harvest numbers with tags so killing bad genetic bucks and keeping more big genetic bucks breeding your local herd is simply out of the question. I think this is the unethical and misrepresented concept of high fence operations and record books that is in question and why they shouldnt be allowed in the record books.........

Anotherthing about people saying it doesnt matter its fenced because its so big, doesnt mean anythign eitherbecausewhen you take into consideration food plots and feeders keeping those deer in a relative area and being easier to hunt on baited senderos or foodplots isnt fair chase.... How many of those deer on the entire perimeter of his land would get killed by neighbors if that fence wasnt their and his genetic selection program would get less and concentrated more towards the center of his land. The fact is deer travel alot and if his fence was down his program would be compramised alot and not nearly as large scale as it is. WCL
