Ditto for you and a legal buck Blueboy!

You are getting forgetful. I did get an AR legal buck since 2002.

Oh yes, you mean the one with both back legs shot off?

My bad!

I guess I should have said that you haven't harvested an AR legal buck that was healthy and had all it's body parts intactsince before AR.

I betting I still have a better chance of scoring with Sharon then he does of posting his picture with a legal buck that he killed.

I've got some chores to do at the deer farm, so you guys play nice.

Now that the children on the MB have had their name calling , insulting and claiming the article was biased and not based valid scientific study. Here is a giant, STUFF IT, to all you know-it-alls.

This is the study that was the basis for the article.

Genetic consequences of hunting: what do we know
and what should we do?


Richard B. Harris, William A. Wall, and Fred W. Allendorf

"Abstract Possible evolutionary consequences of sport hunting have received relatively little consideration by wildlife managers. We reviewed the literature on genetic implications of sport hunting of terrestrial vertebrates and recommend research directions to address current
uncertainties. Four potential effects can be ascribed to sport hunting: 1) it may alter the rate of gene flow among neighboring demes, 2) it may alter the rate of genetic drift
through its effect on genetically effective population size, 3) it may decrease fitness by deliberately culling individuals with traits deemed undesirable by hunters or managers, and 4) it may inadvertently decrease fitness by selectively removing individuals with traits desired by hunters. Which, if any, of these effects are serious concerns depends on the nature and intensity of harvest as well as the demographic characteristics and breeding
system of the species at issue. Undesirable genetic consequences from hunting have been documented in only a few cases, and we see no urgency. However, studies specifically investigating these issues have been rare, and such consequences require careful analysis and long time periods to detect. Existing information is sufficient to suggest that hunting regimes producing sex- and age-specific mortality patterns similar to those occurring
naturally, or which maintain demographic structures conducive to natural breeding patterns, will have fewer long-term evolutionary consequences than those producing
highly uncharacteristic mortality patterns."

Note the last sentence and also note ARs a highly uncharacteristic mortality pattern. Instead of survival of the fittest ARs are the equivalent of the survival of the weak and scrawny

Contradicts itself.
Says removing undesireables is bad, and removing desireables is bad.
Try again. This is an anti-hunting joke.
You sir are obviously an anti yourself.

bb sure is looking to be

You obviously failed your reading comprehension course if you ever had one. No anti-hunter would put up with the abuse I have received from my fellow hunters. You guys are a disgrace to the hunting community!!

boo hoo[]
