The silliness of assuming that somehow genetics are "lost" when a good stag is shot is as silly as assuming that shooting inferior stags on public land will somehow improve the genetics.

Is like the same as when Rob Muldoon said

This thread isn't about what you @Sy270 or anyone else would have done. It's for hunters to show there success and should be left as such. If you can't offer a congratulations then piss off.

Two nice looking heads there. Very cool.

How did you preserve the velvet to prevent rotting, bugs eating or worse?
