bad genes ? Are you kidding me ? Arkansas has produced more bigger bucks in the past 5 years then they did between like 1970 and 1995 ! genetics is the least of your worries when it comes to big racks - age and food are the #1 ingredients.

If you're talking 200+ typical inches or something like that then yeah, genetics plays bigger roles. But Arkansas has got the genetics - most herds do - to produce big racks given the age and food to do it.
