I just don't believe its necessary or that you can make much if any noticeable difference culling free ranging wild animals unless maybe you control huge tracks of land.
Ive got absolute giants too....I don't see this buck or bucks like him as problems as a lot of my hunters would be plum tickled with him.
We called him tall Tommy and every time I was ask "have any luck?" and I responded with "yeah I saw Tall Tommy and some doe" they thought I was crazy for letting him walk by.
