Cull or pass?

[awbowhunter]

So, is the assumption this buck could never breed and make a branch antlered buck? Define why you would cull?

My dad was 5'9 I am 6'1 glad he was not culled....lol...just sayin.

A future bucls genetics are not determined by the buck alone. And this culling spikes, or inferior buck thing has been exhaustively studied for years and proven NOT to work.

Because he’s a legal buck and he looks like he would taste good. He might actually be a bit on the slim side (aka a bit young), but with a bag limit of three bucks a year, I would happily eat him.

Edit - my initial response to this thread was a bit tongue in cheek. I’ll happily shoot any buck that looks like it is at least 15-18 months old. I don’t hunt for bragging rights, but I also don’t shoot does except in places where there are too many deer.
