It doesn't take gall it just takes more knowledge and being objective. I have been following what Miss. has been doing for many years and know for a fact that Dr. Demarias attributed the decrease in rack sizes in Miss. to high grading and not to a change in the gene pool . Furthermore Dr. Demarias did not base his conclusions on the theory that spikes are inferior and the fact that Kroll made that claim shows that he didn't take the time to research the facts regarding Miss. ARs.
Wrong again!
Dr Kroll clearly has said that no determination as to genetic quality can be made based on antler size on a 1.5 year old deer. He never said that spikes were inferior as you claim and you know that full well.
I did not say Dr. kroll said spikes were inferior, what I said was Kroll accussed Dr. Demarais of assuming spikes were inferior.
Here is a direct quote from the Kroll article.
"Of course ,it was assumed that spiked yearlings were genetically inferior,but this premise has not been proved."
Dr. Demarasi never made that claim and it is highly unprofessional for Kroll to make that assumption.
