Evolution, in theory, applies to all creatures. When many people kill an inferior buck, they do so in an effort to avoid having him pass those genetics on. That's natural selection, which is the basis of evolution. You the hunter are selecting desirable traits, and undesirable ones that shouldn't be passed on.
No, killing an "inferior" buck is not natural selection, it's artificial selection. Natural selection is what some call "survival of the fittest" where the strong and smart live longer and thus breed more to pass on their genes. With artificial selection, also called "selective breeding", we as humans attempt to remove what we consider to be bad from the gene pool.
