This will do little to "change the world" but sometimes you've just got to SAY IT OUT LOUD and there are guys on TV saying this crap as I'm typing!!!
You've all seen programs in which they say they got the "ol buck going down him out of the gene pool" so "them young bucks" can pass on their genes.
OR
When someone suggests hunting older age-class deer ruins the gene pool.......
REMEMBER, the deer passes along the same genes when he's 1 1/2 years old (if he gets the chance) as he does when he's 3 1/2 to 8 1/2 years of age (if he's still able).
If hunters shoot 6 1/2 year old deer, we do indeed keep THAT deer from reproducing for another season. However, the genes he passed on for the last 4 seasons are the same ones he would have had NEXT year.
OK....I'll take a deep breath now.
Within the shadows, go quietly.
