The biggest reason culling doesn’t make much of a difference is because , how do you determine what doe needs to be culled? A buck actually gets more antler coding genetics from the mother more than the father. This is especially difficult, because a young buck is more likely to move far away from where it was born. So realistically, the doe probably isn’t even on the same property as the buck.
Honestly, the “cull” thing is more of an excuse for some hunters to justify shooting a small buck or a buck that doesn’t meet club standards.

If I am not wrong there is new data(according to the states biologists) that if a buck is in the lower 30% of his age class he will never meet regional averages. I have even had state biologist say that if a spike has less the 2” spike to kill him. Buck:doe ratio is 1:1.5 and I can’t just kill 45 does and a couple bucks. We will start this management program this coming fall.
This is in strict heard management where it is more about available food/nutrition for other deer/bucks. This recommendation is for 3,000+ acres. It is more about letting your average and above average deer strive by taking the inferior competition out. Again, it isn’t about genetics, but it is about available nutrition. This is also regional averages on score and points.

Yeah only thing culling does is reduce mouths eating. If you are paying feeding bills, I could see the motivation of this.
