Re: Culled this one!! (PICS)

Ok not flaming on your kill but,how do you know he had bad genetics? I mean was the property you shot him on managed where you had a history with this buck? Just because ther are no noticeable injuries doesn't mean he had none. Like I said i am not flaming you about your kill,just curious on why you say he is a cull buck. To me a cull buck is one that you have observed to at least 4 1/2 years old and never really seemed to increase much as far as antler size. Therefore you don't want him adding to the herd.
[/ QUOTE ]Sorry if I used the word cull in the wrong sense. I don't believe I ever said he had bad genes. I did however say that he was shot in the foot. This buck is not one I would have normally shot. He did have a messed up rack, more than likely from an injury of some sort. He was probably a 2 year old, that would have more than likely never turned into a 140 class deer. I guess I should have called it a mercy killin!!
