    Have to agree with you @Tahr also letting them get to the roar and not taking them when still in velvet (hard underneath then stripped and stained) would help as well as the dna gets past on. Hinds Hinds Hinds. Besides back steaks are easier to carry.
    On a side note do drag them away from the tracks and out of the streams if possible.

    It's all fun and games till Darthvader comes along
    I respect your beliefs but don't impose them on me.
