Is that an indication of your IQ?

Like every thing else this mental midget post ,this is cut & pasted select part of the tale he wants you to believe. The rest of the story has a different ending which of course isn't posted, smoke and mirriors,half truths and bald face lies are the tools dumbdear uses to futher is unfounded critisems of a program he is unable to comperhend.

In most cases hunters prefer to harvest large
[/align]artiodactyls, and horn or antler size is generally cor-
[/align]related with male fitness. However, it does not fol-
[/align]low that hunting removes relatively more fit indi-
[/align]viduals in all cases. Artiodactyl males begin with
[/align]small horns or antlers that become progressively
[/align]larger with age. Hunters selecting for individuals
[/align]with the largest horns or antlers remove primarily
[/align]old individuals, not necessarily those with genomes
[/align]conducive to producing large secondary sexual
[/align]characteristics. Changes in allele frequencies
[/align]caused by selective hunting of large males may be
[/align]buffered by the genetic contributions of females,
[/align]which will have most of the same alleles as males
[/align]but are likely to be subject to differing selective
[/align]pressures. Finally, other factors may affect vulnera-
[/align]bility to hunting independent of hunter selectivity.
[/align]For example, DuFour et al. (1993) found that mal-
[/align]lards in poorer body condition were more vulnera-
[/align]ble to hunting than those in better condition.
[/align]Given these complexities and ambiguities, we
[/align]believe the simulation model constructed by
[/align]Thelen (1991; see also Hundertmark et al. 1993,
[/align]1998) currently provides the best indication of
[/align]how selective hunting might unintentionally alter
[/align]the genetic constitution of big game populations.

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.


looks like your doing the insulting

Are you offended because you think you are one of the children?

This is the conclusion reached by the Authors of the article. The part that you weren't supposed to read.

We began by expressing concern about the long-
[/align]term genetic consequences of hunting, but our
[/align]review of the literature suggested little empirical
[/align]evidence of such consequences. We have hypothe-
[/align]sized a number of characteristics of hunting and
[/align]hunted species that may act to mitigate expected
[/align]negative effects. However, we found no grounds for
[/align]complacency; studies designed to quantify genetic
[/align]effects have been rare, and the effects eliciting our
[/align]greatest level of concern are subtle and difficult to
[/align]detect without long-term monitoring.

So you expect me to sit back and be called a Bluejob, Blueboy , Little Blue without giving you clowns a dose of your own medicine. Dream on, I am not a wimp ,but I do have higher standards than some of the low life that post here.

The results from Miss. show a decline in rack sizes across the state after 12 years of ARs. Now ,can you produce a study that shows rack sizes increased after 12 years of ARs? Can you produce a study that shows the average rack sizes of 2.5+ buck increased after 12 years of ARs anywhere in the world?
