[QUOTE="Davy Crockett, post: 383779, member: 367"] Why ? If it works with fenced operation why wouldn't it work in a natural environment ? Iv'e watched alpha bucks round up harems since I was a kid and they always fight a lone battle with many other bucks. There is only so much they can do and no matter how big and fast they are, they can only be one place at a time. The less dominant bucks sneak in from all directions 24/7 during the rut and they score quite often and make babies too. For that reason, I believe that shooting a lopsided scrubby buck for meat helps maintain better genetics. [/QUOTE]
