>>The health and genetic diversity of the herd is vastly improved by trophy hunting.
Sure it is - keep telling yourself that if it makes you sleep better.
You are uneducated on the topic. Texas department parks and wildlife has studied it extensively. Their biologists manage ranches herds on request of the landowners.
They specify what sex, which specific ones, and how many deer are taken. They want the trophy bucks taken after they have passed their genes on.
The ranches under trophy management have the best herds... by far.
You are driven by emotion and are uneducated on this.
