I've heard that shooting culls won't help, especially on here, but on my land in Pike county I had a big problem with spike on one side bucks so I started shooting every one I could see about 18 years ago. I havn't seen a SOOS buck in the past three years either in a plot or in the thousands of pictures of deer I get at my feeders. Maybe the SOOS bucks migrated somewhere else. I also shoot all bucks without brow tines. From what ive read, SOOS bucks are bucks who have a pedicle injury and can't pass that on genetically to other deer, it comes from bucks fighting and an injury to the pedicle of the skull. That deer will always carry that trait on that side, so if you had 3 deer with that injury and you shot them that would certainly have eliminated you seeing anymore deer like that. Hope that makes sense.

Shooting a buck and claiming it is a cull buck is just a hunters way of pulling the trigger on a small buck and justifying their lack of trigger restraint. If it's a legal deer and your club allows you to shoot it then shoot it and be happy. If you know your going to have to justify the kill with the "it was a cull buck" excuse then don't shoot it.

let me ask y'all this . what harm does it do to kill a true cull buck ? My argument is that killing a "true cull buck" doesn't do a ton of good. The idea that this buck is going around corrupting the gene pool ("owning all the does") is ridiculous. My concern is that this mindset is going to result in folks shooting young "imperfect" racked deer claiming it's a cull, when some high percentage of them would have grown into nice mature buck if they had the chance to mature. How do you accurately define a "true cull buck?" Seems to me you wouldn't know for sure until they are already mature. If you want to shoot a mature buck with a messed up rack, do so by all means, I just don't think any significant improvement to the deer herd has occurred.

let me ask y'all this . what harm does it do to kill a true cull buck ? "True cull buck". This would have to be an old deer that we know will never get much, if any, better. The problem is not many people are able to discern this, especially in the field. First they have to be able to age him and secondly, they have to know he wasn't just having a bad year through sickness or injury that he can recover from. Now, there is not really any harm in killing him if you know for he meets the criteria for certain, except my point that someone would be proud to kill him. Save him for those people if it means nothing to you to kill him.
Lord, please help us get our nation straightened out.

The harm is young deer get shot that would have been "better looking bucks" the next year.

We're assuming with certainty that even if that buck in Frankie's picture breeds does that all the fawns will be just like that. I don't know, but when considering genetics, oftentimes recessive genes in one generation become dominant in the next (and flip flop). My dad is 6'-4" / 280#, his father was similar build. My maternal granddad was 6'-2" / 250ish. I am 5'-11" and 175. I have a daughter that is taller and lean, the other is very short and stockier built. And we're all from the same genes.
We were on the edge of Eternia, when the power of Greyskull began to take hold.

So injury, food source or sickness will not affect the growth of a rack? There are more things that can cause a bad rack than genetics. If you kill a buck with a bad rack you may be killing the most perfect genetic buck in your herd. Preach! shouldnt effect the herd though, if its true for one end of the spectrum. Its true for the other, Right? If i kill good bucks when there 2-3 years old. It really has no effect, because I'm not gonna kill all of them. So therfore I would still have mature good genetics bucks to hunt as well. Right?
