[QUOTE="Ski, post: 5551360, member: 20583"] I think that right there might be the key, and the MSU study made fairly clear. A specific plant can vary pretty drastically in nutritional value depending on the soil it grows in, and the soil varies by region. It seemed to parallel deer body size and antler score. The river delta deer were notably larger than the coastal plains deer, yet after two generations of captivity both varieties of deer equalized, suggesting it was nutrition rather than genetics that dictated buck quality.
