Seems like I read a report from the King Ranch that stated the average score for 5.5 year old bucks was around 115". I bet our Bama bucks aren't far from that. CD. Yep. There are more 140" deer in the Midwest because there are more that make it to maturity. They still aren't the norm even though many southern hunters think they are behind every tree up there. I used to believe Jackson County was full of them until I realized I was hunting as fine a property as there was and putting in massive hours just to kill one 140" deer every other year. The majority of the 4.5 year old deer I killed were in the 130s and I'm sure I passed on quite a few mature deer that didn't have the kind of antlers I wanted. A 140" deer is a trophy any where in the world. More common some places but not the norm anywhere.
