[QUOTE="BSK, post: 5778545, member: 17"] And that's the interesting thing TN Larry. Most of these landowners have been commenting on how last year's drought didn't negatively affect antler production. But did it not? If some of these 3 1/2 year-old bucks are actually 4 1/2 or older, then antler growth assessments are being made using older bucks than the cohort suggests. In essence, if you're looking at the antler production of 3 1/2s, are you really looking at just 3 1/2 year-old bucks? Maybe some of them are older, and their antler growth - even if it is below average for their actual age - is skewing the assessments of true 3 1/2 year-olds. [/QUOTE]
