true
so if we sit down and think about all this and what is best for the deer herd we are doing it totally wrong or at least sorta wrong
we want to produce the biggest bucks we can do we can shoot them correct?
the best chance of doing this is during the rut or just before
if we shoot the biggest buck then, we have not let him breed any or at least not all the does he was going to breed because his arse got shot
if we truly wanted to pass on the biggest buck genes we would let him walk until after the rut
of course then we would never see him in the daylight
this is all way too much deep thoughts would be good campfire whiskey talk

I might regret opening this can of worms on a Friday afternoon, but that’s always been my argument against culling.
You see a mature buck in daylight that’s got a fricked up rack, you shoot it cause it’s a cull.
You see a mature buck in daylight with a pretty rack, you shoot it cause it’s a trophy.

Youre absolutely right. That's why its important to have good management practices. Passing on these 2 year olds with great genetics from the trophy you shot means they can still get passed on, while growing into their own potential.
Now if you have a club with 8pt and outside the ear rules then everything with potential gets killed while everything that is lacking doesn't meet the standards and gets to keep breeding

Unless you have some insane buck to doe ratio, he passed his genes. He doesn't start breeding the year you want to kill him. With any luck he might have gotten a little action the first year he grew horns.
