Here are my favorite myths.
1. The Moon or Moon phase, weather conditons and temp's has to do with the timmimg of the rut.
2. Mature doe's are harder or just as hard to kill as mature bucks.
3. You can tell the difference between buck and doe droppings by its size and shape.
4. Only bucks contribute genes to their offspring when it comes to antler size etc.
5. That you can change the gentic potential of your buck population by culling inferior bucks when your hunting a free ranging herd.
6. Mineral blocks, supplements, homemade recipe's can cause bucks to grow larger antlers.
