According to MSU deer study- nutrition vs genetics, they did a study on three different deer from three different areas of the state. I believe they may have been different sub- species. The basis of their conclusion was that when all three were provided the same nutrition, by the second generation they were all equal size. I said that to say that evidently there is something else in Bankhead and similar that is putting inches on those deer. Age and genetics could be a factor, but that isn’t coming full circle without nutrition.
Yep......and its not every buck that reaches old age that's growing really big......It may just be the perfect storm of those few that live in just the right places
