Bad Genetics????
 

Do you think this is a case of bad genetics or what? This is at one of my hunting spots. Are these examples of a buck that should be taken down? BTW these are pictures from last season....The first buck has a 3 point right side and a small spike on the left side. The other 2 pics are of the same deer and as you will see its crap as well. Tell me what you guys think bout it.

Funny Rack -

But Both are young bucks - can't blame it on bad Genes yet.

I think its a big mistake to discuss culling any deer that are less than 3.5 years old. I'd say its both buck's 1st rack - and multiple points are a GOOD sign in most areas. The last one is a distinctive Rack - it'll be interesting to see what he might look like this year at 2.5 years old if he's still around.

Its hard to say when they are that young (1 1/2) I also see alot of young bucks similar to that, but i also see bucks with great racksin the same area's as well, that have absolute awesome racks!! Time will tell if they make it that far.

Are you near a hazardous waste dump?

WOW

No but I hunt near an old navy base that is now run down and over grown with vegetation and there are rumors there was old 50 gallon tanks with toxic junk left there. So maybe!

Sounds like they ought to be pretty tasty.

Exactly.

Those deer are way too young to tell if its bad genetics. Give then a couple of years.
