Do you think young deer with funky racks need to be taken to preserve the gene pool?

[QUOTE="AllOut, post: 2271923, member: 12099"] Some studies show that the doe passes on 60% of the antler gene. So yes, the doe has more to do with it than the bucks. That's where my "can't manage for antlers, by killing bucks" came from. Studies also show that 1.5 yo bucks breed just as many doe a year as mature bucks do. Plus yearling bucks leave their birthing area and yearling bucks from other areas move in. So again, in free range deer it's impossible to manage for antlers. [/QUOTE]
