Well if there is any merit to that way of thinking at all then lets stop for a minute and think about how the “good genes” are being treated…..Aren’t we taking that trophy gene out of the herd if we shoot that nice 10 pt?? Any of y’all letting it walk to keep it in the herd?? By the logic being used here we should have already taken that trophy gene out of the herd by now if it was possible to do so shouldn’t we have??….. since we’ve likely shot every one that’s ever walked??…..many even at a young age….most of them likely

I'm interested to hear how this gets explained......
