You’re probably right. Hardly hear of hunters doing any control shooting, they seem too focused on ‘trophy’ stags.
Countrywide, hunters as a group have to realise that leaving females does fuck all but lead to too high population levels. Taking out inferior stags and even a few trophy stags does bugger all for population control or improvement of the gene pool. Remember too that for every animal you see there’s often another five or so that you don’t. Flying an area in a chopper or even a plane soon reinforces that.
