[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 5725970, member: 1409"] Makes me wonder if multiple hunters gave him a pass when he was 3 1/2 & 4 1/2. Monitoring a large group of hunters, when there is a top-end antlered 3 1/2, rarely will that one survive to 4 1/2, and never to 5 1/2. But a well below averaged antlered one (like the one in above pics), typically gets passed up by multiple hunter multiple times when 3 1/2 & 4 1/2. [I]THESE[/I] are the bucks most likely to survive to 5 1/2 or older. Some of us then see them as outstanding unique trophy bucks due to their age more than their antlers. However, 5 1/2 & older bucks will often grow some non-typical tines, which can make for very unique antlers. [/QUOTE]
