genetics sometimes has nothing to do with the size of a paticular bucks antlers. injury and disease can easily reduce a bucks antler size for the next or several years.

how did the dart damage the buck??

HF breeders select does by which does consistantly produce big antlered sons, takes time(years). Selective breeding. It is not an overnight thing. It has taken years for breeders to produce the huge bucks now being produced. It isn't what they feed em.

I've spent most of the money I've made in my lifetime on hunting and fishing. The rest I just wasted.....
