[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 5190331, member: 1409"] Very true. And in even moderantly hunted areas, I'm finding the average hunter killed buck aged at 3 1/2 and 4 1/2 typically outscores 5 1/2's, not because 5 1/2's don't typically score higher, but hunters kill those most capable of becoming gigantic antlered 5 1/2's, mostly when bucks with that potential are only 2 1/2 to 3 1/2. And, the same hunters repeatedly give pass to below average antlered 2 1/2 & 3 1/2's, which in turn become the surviving bucks living to maturity. That said, rare is the case that a 120-class antlered mature buck is not extremely more impressive (due to its score usually coming more from mass than tine lenghth) than a 120-class young buck (which gets its score mainly from tine length while lacking mass).
