Hold on, I think I see an important difference here. First, I also have no problem with killing does. And yes, hunting deer usually involves killing deer, at least right now. But I'm not talking about killing deer, I'm talking about deliberately killing trophy deer...that's the part where I can't seem to get a straight answer. You can reduce deer numbers AND put food in the freezer by killing does.

Why, why deliberately kill the biggest and the best bucks??? You're skipping over the all important distinctions between killing deer, killing mature deer, and killing trophy deer.

What is your reason for wanting to kill the biggest, bestest deer? We've established that it isn't food or population control, as taking numbers of does will accomplish that, so what's left?


"Forget pounds and ounces, I'm figuring displacement!"

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.
