[QUOTE="FrogFire7, post: 2966753, member: 101482"] There have been some interesting studies on doe condition during pregnancy. Essentially, is she's malnourished or stunted, her baby buck fawn will never be a big buck. All genetics aside. I'm SURE there is a lot to discuss and for them to study about that topic still, but essentially the take away is that all my life I've heard talk about "genetics" being the key to big whitetails, when in fact it has (probably& potentially) a lot more to do with general habitat quality being able to provide enough nutrition to the mother when she is pregnant. Just another thing to consider when talking about scrub bucks reproducing. I'm not saying that every buck fawn has the potential to be a B&C buck, but the evidence suggests that good quality habitats may be more important than genetics, speaking in a very broad manner.
