You cannot affect genetics as a hunter, and you cannot influence genetics through selective culling in wild deer populations.” ..... only sentence in the article that needs to be read. I've been saying this for years, unless you're high fenced you will not alter your herds genetic plain. And if you are high fenced it still takes years to manipulate your genetics....

High Fence and introduced Texas pen raised genetics, totally different Animal.
Wait, you jumped animals. Once genetics are introduced, you’re dealing with a different animal. Fencing in native deer and managing is completely different than introducing genetics when discussing culling.

Originally posted by bukkskin View PostYes, a far superior Whitetail. And it All has to do with genetics. You high fence boys have the edge on low fence because you are restricting movement and keeping the deer from being killed by neighbors. Culling(killing) on your places will make a difference. I have the edge on you high fence boys because I am controlling the breeding, only the best to the best, year in and year out.
They aren’t superior, they are different. In fact most breeder deer are inferior when correctly compared to other breeder deer, because they all fall on a curve as well.
Apples and Oranges need to get compared to other apples and other oranges. If you have a rotten orange, don’t try to convince everyone else that it’s really a ripe apple.

If you are such a "purist" then take down that top 4 feet of fence and those pellet feeders and let nature take it's course.
