Do big bucks always have big antlered offspring? How much of a buck's antler size is affected by his sire? Are spikes genetically inferior? We're diving deep into antler heritability, buck breeding values, and antler genetics in this third and final buck culling podcast. Dr. Randy DeYoung of the Caesar Kleberg Wildlife Research Institute at Texas A&M University-Kingsville is joining us and sharing lot's of information about buck antler genetics and how many variables around genetics affect culling efficacy.
