[QUOTE="BSK, post: 3537272, member: 17"] Just remember that hunters "cherry pick" the top-end antlers of each age-class. I have no doubt that the average HARVESTED 3 1/2 on your place is 123. But in most of TN, 3 1/2 year-old bucks don't AVERAGE that high. But I often find that [i]harvested[/i] bucks of a specific age run 10-15 inches larger than that age-class averages. This is just the natural outcome of hunters deciding to shoot for the larger antlered bucks, often not even realizing some smaller-antlered bucks are older to mature in age. [/QUOTE]
