Having a serious conversation, that will result in any useful answers, will be difficult on here because there are to many biologists on the GS with greatly varying opinions..
But with that being said, its not rocket science.. It sounds like ya'll are on the right track..
We are a small place but we try our best to make the genetics better by passing a lot of great young deer every year, many that we never see again.. They jump the fence and die.. We also pass big mature(4 year old) 6 points and 7 points and continue to see them year after year(neighbors wont kill them either) never to gain a point.. We do this just to see what they will do.. They NEVER do much but eat and get bigger bodied and meaner.. Some will die this year..
We DO NOT shoot spikes unless they are 3+.
