[QUOTE="Ski, post: 5550436, member: 20583"] There's some interesting stuff for sure. One thing I noticed is that in none of their studies did a 3yr old have a 120" rack. Even in their controlled environment captive deer experiments with optimum nutrition and minimal stress, no 3yr old had a 120" rack. I can't count all the times I've heard people say they let a 130" 8pt walk because he was only 2yrs or 3yrs old. It always made me raise an eyebrow, and apparently MSU feels the same because they can't even create that scenario in a deer lab. I've always suspected a lot of folks either grossly underestimate buck ages or grossly overestimate rack scores, or both. These MSU studies are reinforcing that suspicion. [/QUOTE]
