[QUOTE="DoubleRidge, post: 5500082, member: 20594"] The topic of epigenetic response or epigenetic triggers is fascinating to me. Just yesterday I listened to a MSU Deer University podcast that compared South Texas and the South East and several topics we're discussed but genetics in general were discussed as well as epigenetics.....They echo what BSK has said many times...the average buck at maturity will be around 120" to 125" in South Texas, in Tennessee and in Georgia... Difference being in South Texas their are larger land holdings under extensive management so more bucks are allowed to express their genetic potential.....but it's the epigenetic triggers that really fascinate me because we are getting ready to enter year four following an extensive timber stand improvement and each year we're trying to improve our food plot program...being patient and understanding that it can take years to see a response...but we're already seeing so much potential....very motivated to keep on working on habitat projects for the future....very rewarding when you see a positive response.
