Cull Buck or Not???
Here is a buck that I don't know what to do with. His body looks like he is an older deer. I have heard that if a buck doesn't have brow tines after a certain age, he should be taken out of the gene pool. Based on his antlers and body size, what do you think? Cull him this season (if given a chance) or not?
Thanks.
Thanks.

With out a doubt. I would have killed that deer 2 years ago. That deer is the perfect example of a cull buck. Even if that deer did have browtines it looks like he would still only be a 6 pointer which is no good. We try to cull out all six pointers if they are 2 1/2 or older. This deer looks 4 1/2 at least.... Cull him....
