I am under the opinion that stress should be ranked above genetics when it comes to antler growth. However, I realize more research needs to be done before this will become widely accepted.
Since you claim to have all this knowledge about the effects of stress, let's see it if can apply it to the real world of deer management in PA. Can you tell us how many DPSM it would take to provide enough stress to affect antler development in 2G and 5C?
How much knowledge do you have on the effects of genetics on antler development? Are you familiar with the results of studies on genetics and antler development at the Kerr Institute? Have you read the article," Spikes are Not Inferior or Are They"? Have you read the reports on ARs from Miss.?
