[QUOTE="megalomaniac, post: 4171185, member: 2805"] 74% of the buck harvest in MS being 3.5 or older is correct. But you have to understand the caveat... the data is collected from intensively managed private properties (of which there are hundreds and hundreds in the state, NOT just a handful) plus the draw WMA hunts. The numbers are NOT statewide data, and extrapolating the results to the entire state is fallacious. However, there ARE a lot of important conclusions which one can be certain of derived from the information. MS as an entire state HAS GREATLY shifted the majority of bucks killed toward the 3.5 y/o age classes and up. Also, the percentage of older bucks in the harvest has steadily increased each year over the past 10 years. There hasn't been an initial bump up, then a plateau seen like in TN's buck age harvest. And as a state as a whole, MS does kill significantly more older bucks both in raw numbers as well as percentages than any neighboring state. [/QUOTE]
