[QUOTE="BSK, post: 5779450, member: 17"] I went back and looked at the limited data I have from the last time we had a devastating drought - 2007. From the few data sets I have from 2008, I did not see this same surge of number of 3 1/2s and decline in number of 4 1/2+ year-old bucks. What does that mean? I have no idea. But for now, I'm sticking to my theory that this year's rise in the 3 1/2s and decline in 4 1/2+ is due to mature bucks being mis-aged due to lack of body/muscle growth following last year's drought. Although other theories clearly exist, the misjudging age theory is the most logical (Ockhom's Razor). [/QUOTE]
