[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 5133898, member: 1409"] Also, because hunters "high-grade" the buck population, particularly typically hard-hitting the 2 1/2 & 3 1/2-yr-old cohort, even the photo censuses "down-grade" the antler scores of the average buck's birth antler genetics. We hunters tend to kill off our largest antlered buck genetics well before they can really show off their true potential at 4 1/2 & 5 1/2. Based on birth genetics, I suspect you could likely add around 10-15 inches to the average buck's antlers at 4 1/2 & older, if none were killed at 3 1/2 or younger by human hunters. [/QUOTE]
