If you're managing age structure alone , shouldn't that be the only indicator to do so ? Don't get me wrong, antler growth can help when ageing deer, but it's not entirely conclusive. Body size, physical appearance, etc, are even more conclusive IMO. 3-4 year old deer bumping 130 would be the exact reason NOT to go by antler growth alone, would it not ?
If you’re wanting to manage for age structure alone then I’d say whatever method results in the best age structure would be the way to go……If 50,60, or 70% of the bucks are off limits because they don’t meet a score requirement then a lot of bucks get old I agree that the majority of hunters assume age based off racks.
