…. Deer ain’t 4h projects lol

It is simply NOT possible for hunters to affect/change the genetics in wild free-ranging whitetails.

For those that think you are accomplishing something by selective harvest of "inferior" bucks or does then by all means keep at it. It's keeping you hunting and making you feel like a deer manager!

BTW....it has been proven in research that two bucks can impregnate same doe...she has twins...each fawn has a different sire. So, consider that for what it's worth.

I have zero desire to kill a buck unless I "think" it is 6.5 years old or more. However, I think people should be able to shoot whatever they want. Antler restrictions restrict people's ability to exercise their freedom to kill whatever they legally want in exchange for another guy's freedom to grow bigger bucks.

One would have to be at least twice the size of the other to qualify as an irregular testes deer.

Speaking of that, and knowing your efficient use of the deer you kill Lugnut, do you use them "fries" too?

25 or so years ago eastern Washington went to a three point minimum (one side) for mule deer. Everyone whined about it for a few years. I don't hear anyone complaining now, all those spikes and 2x2's that were being shot are now surviving to become nice mature bucks.
