[QUOTE="fairchaser, post: 4656912, member: 10373"] I can’t add much if anything to what Andy said. He covered it pretty darn well. I will add that I anecdotally believe our age structure on bucks has increased even though the age of bucks harvested has remained constant. While it’s difficult to stockpile mature bucks, we don’t have many bucks intentionally shot on age versus score. We shoot the score and occasionally get a “get out of jail free pass” for a mistake that ages out at 4.5+. There are a good number of older 4.5+ bucks running around that will never score the minimum and they get passed by hunters. IMO this fact skews the age structure of bucks versus the population. But, maybe most QDM managed land have this dilemma unless they shoot the age versus the score. [/QUOTE]
