I can guarantee that there are more mature bucks under 140, than over. Way more. You may be selecting the 140+ bucks to kill, but you're leaving a lot of mature bucks in the population.

I'd say in our area it's probably 5%, maybe less than that. And we are in a good area with good genetics.


I reckon you had Satellites watching my property to make sure My deer weren't breaking what some study said about some deer in another state. Really you have to argue with anyone that gives there $.02. I knew my age structure I knew my Buck to doe ratio, Fawn ratio, And weights.



I'm not trying to argue, only provide FACTS. Since facts are such a problem around here y'all can have this place. I'm out, the way everybody else that has tried to educate folks has gone. I spend more time on here defending data than having fun. If you want to think you had a place in AL with higher average antler scores than anywhere else in the country then go ahead. That's fine. Everybody on here can believe what they want to now, because I won't be here to argue about it.
