Buck, I appreciate your opinion however I disagree. We both had our arguments on the last forum regarding ar so I don't want to go back and forth. With that said Culling an animal in the wild will have no impact on genetics. There are plenty of studies on it. Also, there are many reasons why some deer are spikes and others not...nutrition, their born date etc....now we do practice some sort of ar on our farm for the past 5 years and have a much better age structure. We also still have spikes even with 30 acres in food plots. It happeneds and that's ok. So is the opinion not to have ar. Shoot what you want but to say ar is bad, I would have to disagree.
