RE: Big Buck Contest...Baby Bucks
Hyde,
Sure I have heard of genetically inferior deer but that isn't what you said. You said you kill all the basket racks. If a deer is 4 years old and has a basket rack then he should be removed from the heard but not until he has reached the 4 year mark. However, it appeared in your post that you were saying that you kill all little bucks. What criteria do you use in aging a deer to decide whether or not to cull it? Also, at what age do you start to cull bucks? Also, what are your general antler characteristics that a buck must exhibit at a particular age for you to cull him?
