Genetics in a wild herd is a crap shoot. A genetically great buck can breed with a "junk" doe and vice versa.
I agree Dave. So when those good genetics do manage to beat the odds and manifest themselves, why is that the deer for the wall?

If we accept that: MBG(+)FGSF(=)HBG(F1) And we surmise that: BG(>)HBG(F1) while GSF(<)HBG(F1) Would it hold true that: HBG(F1)(+)AM500(x)q.d.(=)1.5lbGRWT? PB answer: It depends.
