[QUOTE="BSK, post: 5657065, member: 17"] I have seen numerous examples where increased social pressure causes middle-aged bucks' antler score to decline. Take out some of the pressure, and antler scores bounce right back. However, that's generally undesirable, as that means removing mature bucks. And to be honest, this problem usually vanishes once a buck reach maturity. He is now at the "top of the pack" and his antlers take a noticeable jump. Basically, increase social pressure only reduced his antlers while he was subordinated, not once he reaches near dominance. [/QUOTE]
