[QUOTE="undeg01, post: 3463126, member: 26476"] I agree to some extent. But if you don’t cull those big mature sire bucks, the bad genetics become very prolific as that buck will likely breed more does than the smaller, less dominant bucks. So you have to start someplace. When we took a lease 4 years ago, there was a grandpa buck, his offspring buck (probably 3 1/2 yo) and a 2 year old buck. All had a perfect rack on the left and a spike with a fork on the right. We took them out the first 2 years of the lease. The third year, racks showed improvement and this year, there is only one buck still exhibiting those genetics. Sure, there will still be occasional kickbacks and those genes will show themselves from time to time, but we are seeing improvements. [/QUOTE]
