[QUOTE="Andy S., post: 4539889, member: 131"] Agree with Mick for future bucks, no impact, too much in and out on the fringes, and too much genetic traits being passed down by does. But those few of us who hunt 18k acres, we can many times SEE these inferior racked bucks OVER and OVER, giving us the false sense that they are the only ones out there. I suspect that is what you are getting at FC, and I like you, have witnessed these bucks many times over. Mick - if our aging method (TR&W) was not bastardized to produce an EXACT age ([i]laughable at best after 3.5[/i]) for our data, with fines associated with that EXACT age, then many of us members would pull the trigger. In our case, we have seen numerous 4.5 and 5.5 year old bucks ([i]trail cam pics over several years with identifiable traits[/i]) aged at 3.5 over the years, and fines imposed, thus we have become gun shy and could care less about how shooting a mature 110" 6 point, in fear of paying a fine because the subjective tooth wear method was used to record an EXACT age.
