It happens with bucks of any age pass them and shoot the genes you don't want. 6pt, no brows spike on one side ect, make sure they are at least 4yo+
Keep your booger hooker off the bang switch.

My belief, as you approach a closer ratio in sex structuring, buck to doe, your breeding competition accelerates and then with that comes more fighting and subsequently antler injury. However there is a point where you cross over into actually less fighting if there are few enough does and enough older age class bucks to breed them where the younger bucks do not compete/fight for breeding. Additionally most pedicle injuries occur secondary to prolonged rutting into February/March and continued fighting during the two week period when a buck is actively shedding his antlers thereby making his antlers less stable.
Wish it was hunting season.....year round

I too, have seen the same WillyB. It eventually gets better with the mature buck classes doing the breeding while the younger age classes stay in the shadows. Do the younger bucks actually stay in the shadows, or do they travel to other properties until they find somewhere they can compete?

Really skewed sex ratios tend to draw out the breeding season, putting more stress on bucks, and providing a longer window for injury to occur. I know CNC is wetting his drawers to hear that, but even with higher adult buck percentages in the population breeding, if they have to do that through 2-3 estrous cycles it’s increasing opportunity for injury. The only drawers that are wet are your panties from this dream you’re having about creating perfect ratios on a 1000 acres……Meanwhile, in the other thread bucks are still traveling for miles during the rut.

I just hate that you’re still promoting wholesale doe slaughtering when you recognize that the problem is corn and cameras causing too many bucks to be shot. If you try to solve that problem by killing does then what you end up with is just less deer.
