[QUOTE="DSheetz, post: 1751913, member: 91783"] Not at all just saying something to think about is that we un- intentionally do a certain amount of selective breeding . I know some good ranchers that do have good breading programs for their live stock and carry it over to the wild life on their ranch also by only allowing a certain number of large animals to be harvested each year and will not allow some specific animals to be harvested so that their genes continue to be passed on . When we hunt as well as others we don't know what animals have been harvested by others and like them we want to take a trophy and there are only so many trophy animals to go around and still spread the genes there are a lot more lesser then trophy animals out there that pass on their genes both male and female . I have watched pronghorn herds that had odd shaped horns passed on for several generations because nobody wanted to harvest them . I have also watched several generations of good mule deer that only had one or two trophy bucks in the area for years and only a few of the up coming generation would inherit the trophy genes .
