Interesting theory. A lot of the strip mine land in various areas does produce big deer.


Arent most of them in pretty rugged terrain??

I’ve got several clients there. It can be very rugged, rocky and remote in places. I’ve also wondered about the fertility of the minerals they brought to the surface. There’s always BIG deer in that general area. I also think some of it may very well be some genetic influence from Bankhead. It’s not that far given the dispersal of young bucks and they’ve had 98 years to do it.
