Culling Yearling Bucks
Do you believe that culling a yearling (insert whatever you deem as bad genetics here [fork horn for example]) buck will limit the bad gene pool in your local deer herd?
I'm of the opinion that culling a (insert whatever you want for bad genetics here) will not have a significant impact. While it's true that only 20% of the bucks in an area are top end performers, I don't believe the first set of antlers is a good predictor of future sets.
This is a long standing debate a friend and I have. He believes you should cull any yearling buck with 4 or less points.
Your thoughts?
