[QUOTE="BSK, post: 5506759, member: 17"] I love studies like this! Truly fascinating stuff. But as you pointed out, that was a controlled study. In Nature it is assumed there is some mate selection by does, but that isn't the only factor in which buck sires a particular fawn. A long-running landmark study from Oklahoma (I believe it was in a 4,000-acre high-fence), found that the most successful sire bucks were by no means the largest antlered bucks. In fact, they were very much average antler-wise for their age. However, they were very aggressive bucks. That study also pointed out just how "spread out" successful breeding is through the buck population, with very few bucks siring multiple fawns per year. [/QUOTE]
