With all this talk about genetics, how come no one mentions the doe? She carries HALF the dna, regardless of how you cut it. So you could have great genes from one and not the other, where are you gonna get? You can practice QDM all you want and AR but if you don't have the genes, which are carried by both the breeding pair, you aren't gonna get what you all are envisioning. The only thing AR do is try and limit the age of harvested deer, giving you more time to see what kind of genes you have. But this is guestimating at best. Recent studies have shown that the majority of doe are bred by young deer, not the old mature deer that we used to think. In fact this study showed that some does would not breed to the older study deer and would in fact only allow the younger deer to breed with them. Actually witnessed it on a Drury show, where they hinted at this study.
