And my guess would be the closer you get to the November rut, the better the antler potential?
The assumption is that the Michigan genetics have better potential…..I don’t know if that’s true or not but if we assume it is then you would be talking about the bucks born from those doe lines around Bankhead……Thing is though, they disperse as yearlings and can end up well outside of that range. My guess is that some of these bucks disperse into isolated pockets of habitat where they get plenty of good food. It wouldn’t necessarily have to be large scale farming for one individual to find a good spot
