[QUOTE="BSK, post: 5781289, member: 17"] Glad to see you post this Dumbluck. I have a client near my personal hunting place for whom I've been running censuses for years. This year, I found I buck with a unique rack that I thought I recognized. This year, I have him as a clear 3 1/2 by summer aging criteria. I went back last year, and there he is. I had him as a 3 1/2 then too. I went back another year, and I have him as a 2 1/2. Could it be a different deer this year? Anything is possible, but I doubt it. I think it is same buck and this year he is actually 4 1/2. On my own place - and we were hit extremely hard by the drought last year, to the point bucks were dropping their antlers in late December - we have an inordinate number of 3 1/2s and unusually low number of mature bucks, just like many of my associates and clients in the area.
