[QUOTE="Ski, post: 4903728, member: 20583"] The number throws perception off, too, and doesn't tell a complete story of antler size. Not every 150" deer is the same size. After every scored tine comes an added girth measurement, which adds up very fast. Stickers add up gross score, too. Case in point, a 150" 8pt is a monster that would dwarf a 150" typical 12pt. That's something I had to get used to when I moved here 5yrs ago. Those darn privet thickets can flat hide some deer. We don't have those where I grew up in Ohio. Very few cedar thickets, either. Personally I don't see any reason why TN deer can't have the same potential as up north. I hunt TN, OH, and WI. In all places the bucks seem pretty relative according to age class. The biggest discrepancy is that I see a whole lot more 3.5+yr old bucks up there than I do here. I tend to believe if I saw the same number of older bucks here as up there, they'd be just as big.
