[QUOTE="Ski, post: 5550513, member: 20583"] [USER=17]@BSK[/USER] once mentioned soil quality being a driving force behind certain areas having very small deer, both in body and rack. The discussion was about how certain areas of TN had such drastically different deer qualities. Much of what MSU is putting out in these videos really drives his point home. In just a few short miles the deer they're testing can be categorized into three distinct regions, and each region had specifically different characteristics and potentials, all dependent on the soil in their immediate respective area. A third of the bucks they studied were from the delta region of MS, an area well reputed for big bucks. That sample of bucks taken from a big buck area, born & raised in a controlled environment with everything a deer could need, still didn't hit 120" at 3yrs of age. That makes one wonder just how old a 130"-140" deer in the wild actually is. He's not the 3yr old it seems a lot of people think. [/QUOTE]
