Default RE: Do Deer return To The Same Area

Woo! Biology class is paying off!

Inbreeding is good, Incestual Inbreeding is bad.

Inbreeding is the continued breeding of organisms with similar characteristics or traits. IE - Whitetail deer breed with Whitetail deer. This is good. This is what you want.

Incestual Inbreeding is the continued breeding of similar organisms from the same family. IE - A brother and sister breeding. This increases the possibility of a recessive allele being expressed rather than the normal dominant allele. This will cause retardation, deformities in the antler structure, etc... NOT good.

Just a little info on inbreeding, never thought I'd be able to use THAT stuff.

biology class does pay off.....
