Default RE: PA antler restriction


ORIGINAL: White-tail-deer

So in effect everyone agrees that the current AR's have NO effect on genetics of the deer herd. It only took 31 pages!
No that is not even close to what I said. What I said was is that high grading was not due to a change in the gene pool. However, the long term effects of ARs and high grading, may have a significant negative impact, in the long term, on the gene pool for the single trait of antler development. Kroll and Demarais were conducting studies on the effects of ARs on genetics ,but I haven't seen a recent report, have you?
