Hunting is altering the genetics of many species.

I'm not sure it's altering genetics for ungulates like elk. Monster bulls like

Studies have shown that gun hunting keeps them still longer.

I had never heard this about game birds. It makes sense about them altering

They have much longer generations, so I think it would take time.

Dude if you kill off all the studs pretty soon you have all the peewee Herman males doing the breeding.

This is definitely the case for deer in some of the Utah units

It's mostly due to the age of the deer. Fence them off and they get that back pretty quick.

Those are probably fake. Elk are small here. Don’t waste your time

Wookie is a Montana hunter - understandably he doesn't want to share the good

He's right, much better elk in Colorado, Utah, New Mexico
