Before AR's even fewer got to that age. How you can translate that into a deterioration of antler size over time is just ridiculous.
What is even more ridiculous is that you and Livbucks can't comprehend such a simple principle as high grading. But ,when you consider a QDM guy like Kroll couldn't understand it either ,I guess I shouldn't be surprised.
What happens if you cut all the oak,cherry maple and ash from a stand and leave the beech,gum, striped maple ,red maple and hop hornbeam. What happens is you have high graded the stand and the remaining stand will have little or no value.
Duh, what a ridiculous statement. You are comparing the culling of differing species of trees to the hunting of the same species of deer. You are straying further from sensibility there fella.
