[QUOTE="aviator41, post: 2271948, member: 30309"] Okay, so question - I hunt for the meat. not really interested in trophy's anymore. I don't think antler growth has any effect on taste, but it can be an indicator of overall health of an animal (when taken in connection with other factors) - so, if the animal is otherwise healthy I will take a malformed buck over a symmetrical buck any day. Cull from the herd, tasty meat - and a rack only a mother could love. sure, why not. It's the only way I'll take a 1.5yr-old these days. Big bucks with ugly mugs are also game. At least that's the way we justify it, If given the option. It has always struck me as odd that natural selection doesn't cull more of the oddballs out. you'd think they would be quite rare, but we're seeing them more and more over the last few years. not sure why.
