[QUOTE="BSK, post: 2261239, member: 17"] Severe growing conditions would have the most long-lasting impacts on the youngest deer, especially fawns. They are attempting to grow larger in all dimensions (bones ae still growing longer) hence malnutrition would have the greatest long-term impact on the youngest age-class. If we were looking for long-term affects from the severe spring/summer/fall of '07, the bucks that would display the greatest impact would be bucks that are 3 1/2 this year (fawns in '07), and secondarily 4 1/2 year-old bucks this year (yearling bucks in '07). Of interest, I did notice unusually small 3 1/2 year-old bucks this year, both in body and antler. [/QUOTE]
