[QUOTE="Elk Fire, post: 2648103, member: 102131"] Is it? This brings up an interesting thought. We know that the current population in the east was re-introduced. I doubt any selective choices went into which elk were relocated. It’s not like they grabbed a 400” bull or cows known to produce such monsters… It’s pretty easy in high fence situation to farm for certain traits obviously big antlers being top on that list. Do we know how many different groups from different areas were brought in? What is really the “Gene Pool” we are talking about here. I believe there is an island that had a single little 4 point buck as the only male introduced. The does clearly get a say in the gene pool as well, but I don’t think There are 220” deer running around on that island. Is it just age and nutrition at work here in spite of the genetics involved??
