glew, interesting observations. But, they are observations and opinion only. There is no proof for your theory, only your opinions.

You can't take two or three deer out of an entire population and make any kind meaningful observations about the herd or species as a whole. How about random chance that the racks are of a different size and the testosterone levels are lower in some deer? Without a properly designed study and statistical analysis there are no facts, no results and no conclusions that can be drawn. You are taking a dependant variable and randomly applying or discounting the variables.

Without any real data you can't really have an educated discussion about the topic. Can discuss opinion and theory, none are more right or wrong than the other. Simply no data to support any points.
