[QUOTE="Ski, post: 5790085, member: 20583"] I agree completely except that getting rid of an actual "cull" frees up space and resources for another deer. If you own a property and are managing it to increase your odds of tagging a trophy animal, then an old mature buck with little antlers is directly working against you. He's eating the food from your plots and taking up prime bedding, but he's never going to have the big rack you're working towards. Killing him to make room for hopefully a more promising buck, by the very definition is culling him. That makes him a cull. Like I said, that doesn't minimize him nor does it detract from the accomplishment of hunting & killing a mature buck. Both things can be true simultaneously. [/QUOTE]
