Great Poobah!

Another deer season is nearly on us, and I'm beginning to despair already.

Our camp has had miserable luck in being able to harvest a suitable dink. To date, this has been our one entry:

As you can see, it had way too much antler. However, these are the smallest antlers we've been able to harvest in over a decade. This is from 2014, and if you remember you gave me an honorable mention for my hat. I had to rescue that rack from the processor's garbage, BTW. He'd thrown it out thinking it was too big to save.

A big part of the problem is that Kentucky currently allows the harvest of only 1 antlered deer per hunter per season. Somehow this has suppressed the genetic traits of proper dinkiness. All we seem to have anymore are these grossly oversized racks. It seems like they are either buttons or hatracks with nothing much in between.

Are there any tips you can give for promoting the proper amount of stuntedness?

Should I be tearing up my food plots?

Should I be adding something to my mineral licks?

Should I encourage young bucks to take up smoking and the consumption of coffee?
