[QUOTE="fairchaser, post: 4380469, member: 10373"] Mike, I agree 100% on this one. A buck that will make the minimum score at 3.5 will more often than not will be harvested at Ames. The 3.5 year old that doesn't will pass to the next season but only a small percentage of those will now make the minimum score. Many of those 4.5 year old bucks that don't score will be passed on forever and will do a lot of the breeding and fighting. For a buck that will score the minimum 125 at 3.5 to get by hunters without being shot until 5.5 or 6.5 are very very slim and maybe unkillable using traditional methods. If hunters were willing to harvest some of these older bucks that will never score and pass on the younger ones that will, we could greatly improve the average age and scores. [/QUOTE]
