Easy answer...hellll no the antlers won't be smaller. More horsechitt.
I've seen native Alabama deer and northern genetic deer raised side by side on the same feed and the northern deer are always much bigger, body and antlers. And they don't get smaller with age.
I'd like to see the pics also.... Maybe I missed it, but are these deer supposed to have northern "genetics". Read all about the "200" genetics" but certainly may have missed the "northern" part. However, we have all seen the photos of deer that were fed high protein for years then fed "normal" protein for a year and seen the corresponding drop in antler size. It was the offspring of a doe (native) that was always with the breeder and they even saw him breed her in the field at least once and he has similar characteristics on his hide and antlers. Really  I'm guessing that "native" doe was in a pen with said breeder buck. field = pen Guy on the QDMA forum ran some numbers using 35 deer per square mile in Marengo Co. (state says 45), but he went consevative. Then 600K acres / 640 acres = sq miles. He came up that they would have to release 329 deer to equal 1% of the present population. That 1% better have some strong genes to effect the other 99%.
