fisherguy Posted May 20, 2005 Report Share Posted May 20, 2005 Re: what is this depending where you are it may be an injured buck, one with poor antler characteristics(weak tine length, few points etc), or a buck that is over the hill. In general a cull buck is one that you want out of the herd so it isn't breeding and spreading its genes anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tominator Posted May 21, 2005 Report Share Posted May 21, 2005 Re: what is this Fisher's got it. Culling is a term that is used when anything unwanted is removed from a particular population whether it be deer, fish, cattle, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wtnhunt Posted May 23, 2005 Report Share Posted May 23, 2005 Re: what is this Yep, culling means removing from the herd like CHirs says with various types of animals. You want to remove those with poor genetics or undesirable traits so they dont spread them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted May 24, 2005 Report Share Posted May 24, 2005 Re: what is this Yes, that's what it means alright. Now another question: How many of the average deer hunters across the nation would know a "cull buck" if they saw it? How many average deer hunters would even want to harvest a cull buck? If you had two nice bucks standing side by side, one being a true symetrical monster rack and the other with obvious genetic flaws, which one would you shoot? The term is useful if you are on a highly managed ranch with a person having a biology background and responsibility for herd management, pointing out the intended target, but in the vast majority of hunting situations, the term has very little useful meaning because it seldom makes up your mind as to which animal to shoot.

wtnhunt Posted May 25, 2005 Report Share Posted May 25, 2005 Re: what is this [ QUOTE ] How many average deer hunters would even want to harvest a cull buck? [/ QUOTE ] Determining the age of the deer is a factor for me when I am considering whether the deer is a shooter in my eyes. If it is a 3.5 year old cull or not chances are pretty good I am shooting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lilcrackshot Posted May 28, 2005 Report Share Posted May 28, 2005 Re: what is this It can be a one sided buck. Most often it is one with bad antler structure or as slughuntr said charachteristics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RangerClay Posted June 1, 2005 Report Share Posted June 1, 2005 Re: what is this Try to cull piebald deer from the herd as well for they spread bad genetics in the herd. Ranger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
