[QUOTE="Ski, post: 5790067, member: 20583"] That's astonishing to me. I can't be an hour away and I've not seen a 130" deer in person or on camera in the 8yrs I've been hunting here. I've killed several 4yr & 5yr old deer but the biggest ones barely surpass 120". I've got a very productive property right in the big buck belt of southern Ohio and I don't see a lot of 130" 3yr olds, although I do see them in the 140's-150's on occasion. But never have I seen a 130" 2yr old. Now by the time they hit 4 & 5 years old they could be anything from 130" to well over 200", most in the 150's-170's. There's at least one 200 incher taken every season in that county, and a large handful of booners. But I've never had a 2.5yr old as big as big as the one BSK posted the other day. I just don't get it. It would seem if bucks can get that big at such young age here in TN then why aren't we seeing the giants in numbers seen in the midwest? And how can I hunt an hour away from where you're at and see a completely different scale of animal? I don't doubt what you see. I see those bucks you mention whenever I go by the processor in Wartrace. There'll be a bunch of bucks like what I see, but there are always a few big ones that look like they must have come from Kansas. Same age class. Same species. But completely different animals.
