[QUOTE="BSK, post: 5550556, member: 17"] I think it's always a bit dangerous to compare Deep South whitetails to MidSouth and especially Midwestern whitetails. I've seen plenty of bucks field-aged, tooth-wear aged, and cementum annuli aged at 3 1/2 that grossed near 150. Now how accurate are those aging systems? Controlled studies suggest, "not great." But I'll have to see if I can find the raw data from the King Ranch in Texas. Using only known-age deer (ear-tagged as fawns), they found, like in my area of TN, 3 1/2 year-old bucks average only around 105, but they did have known-age individuals that pushed the 150 mark as 3 1/2 year-olds.
