You guys that are talking about controling the genes of your heard through culling bucks....... It is impossible, plain and simple. It can't be done through hunting... only through an artifically genetically engineered deer heard could this be accomplished.
The only two factors that humans can control ina wild deer heard is nutrition and age. Culling a 4.5 year old deer because his antlers are not a certain size accomplished absolutely nothing for the quality of your deer heard.
In as non argumentative way as possible......If what you say is true, then why do so many ranches that do this stuff for a living practice what you say is impossible?
