Seeing the comments about two points on here and thinking about people referring to "management bucks" which is a funny way of saying , I shot an unimpressive deer, who cares as long as you like it it's your deer!... Anyway, I recall watching a Realtree episode or something like Bill Jordan Outdoors and the folks from the King Ranch we're on there discussing how no matter what they did to try to cull bucks with certain traits the only thing that mattered in the end for antler size was herd health and the amount of nutrition and minerals the deer were getting. They stated exactly what was stated on here. There are probably more does carrying the same genes as that buck than you could ever figure out so it won't change the herd dynamics or antler traits in a foreseeable amount of time. They tried it for years unsuccessfully.
