[QUOTE="BSK, post: 5491928, member: 17"] Just remember that any "average" score given for an age-class is just that - an average. Most buck age-classes produce a [B]huge[/B] range of scores even in one given location. Collect enough data from one location and you'll find that each age-class of buck above yearlings will display a range of scores that exceeds 100 inches. That means that although the average for 2 1/2 year-old bucks in western Middle TN is 82.5 inches, you'll eventually find 2 1/2s in the area that range from 20 to 130. So when you hear accurate data like "mature bucks in TN average around 125" realize that means a large percentage are +/- 10 inches of 125, but there will still be those statistical outliers in the 50s and those 160+. That said, here are the averages for western Middle TN: 1 1/2: 40 2 1/2: 82.5 3 1/2: 105 4 1/2: 120 5 1/2+: 125 And by the way, these numbers are almost identical to the numbers generated from the King Ranch in TX.
