[QUOTE="BSK, post: 5785759, member: 17"] In theory, yes. But deer happen to have (and their breeding cycle is "designed" to produce this) amazingly high genetic diversity. When a localized population has exceptionally high genetic diversity, inbreeding does not cause problems. It is only when localized populations are distinctly lacking in genetic diversity that inbreeding begins to cause all sorts of genetic problems. This is the case with Humans. We are the [B]least[/B] genetically diverse mammal on the planet. White-tailed deer on the other hand are one of the [B]most[/B] genetically diverse mammals on the planet. [/QUOTE]
