Ok guys I have been wondering about this for a while, ok lets say you have a 4 1/2 year old buck with a 140 inch rack. He is what you want breeding your does because he obviously has good genetics. You would want him again at 5 years old and possibly 6 to continue breeding your does. Now let's say when he's older (7 & 8) and his antlers have really gone downhill, this makes him a "management buck". Which alot of the tv shows are shooting management bucks. My question is, does this buck not still have good genetics? Or do they leave them, how does this work? If he has great genetics at 4 yrs old does he not at 8 yrs old? Just been thinking about this and hoping someone would have some insight. Thanks Guys!
