I'll let you guys voice your opinions on this & I'll decline on that BUT... Keep in mind.... Almost EVERYTHING we have in our lives now is genetically modified or altered. For good or for bad & yes, $ plays into all of this too.... Cows, seed corn, chickens, fish, grass in your lawn, your garden seed, most of ingredients of food has something modified, (heck, human sperm-banks are in a sense: selective breeding), etc. Good or bad, it's just in everything and whitetail selective breeding, etc shouldn't be a big shocker like's it's some crazy thing we humans have done with one thing.
And yeah, holy crap that buck is crazy looking, WHOA! Thankfully I'm content as anything getting a crack at a mature wild buck no matter the score!
