Why did Alt emphasize that the older superior buck would be doing the breeding? He said it to convince hunters that ARs would produce bigger 1.5,2.5 and 3.5+ buck. He also used the flawed computer models from Miss. to assure us that ARs wouldn't result in a decrease in the rack sizes of 2.5+ buck.




For those who don't think alt ment bigger antler bucks should take a minute and think about it.

The bigger bucks would be the breeders he said. Now if you know anything about genetics you will know that the more mature and larger bucks would produce larger off springs. Now is this true or not? Now we can only conclude that alt did mean we would have bigger racked bucks than before the AR in the 2.5 and up aged deer. What deer would produce the bigger racked buck in a 2.5 old deer? A 5 year old 10 point or a 2.5 year old 5 point? So from what alt was saying is we would have bigger 2.5 old bucks than ever before and not just by letting them live that long. It was from larger bucks he was talking about doing the breeding.


Also, I am seeing smaller racked bucks this year than before. My only conclusion is we shot off the larger 2.5 old bucks and left the smaller AR bucks do the breeding. We are having a reverse affect on the deer herd in return is making for a smaller class buck and a unhealthy deer herd.
Our bucks are now a inferior breed of deer from the AR program. You can count on that. They destroyed the genes by targeting larger bucks and letting the small ones to walk and breed. Anyone can see this much better now. AR was a huge mistake.
