Saying a Deer NEEDED to get out of the gene pool is the equivalent of saying they are on the HIT List. Something I find mildly repulsive in that you are now degrading the hunt to nothing but horns.
Have we reached the point where we can determine what is best for a species based entirely on one physical characteristic? Some people are naturals when it comes to physical characteristics, but fail when it comes to smarts. Some are prime examples, but are flawed with a type 1 diabetic gene.
It would be wise not to manage for one particular body part at the expense of the rest.
Addition: The one that NEEDED out of the gene pool, just may be the ONE that has the genetics to defeat CWD.
