What area were those stats compiled? What about genetics?
Those numbers sound pretty close for northern Wis. It takes a special buck to score over 150" in my area. I believe most would make at least 130 just by mass and main beam length.
Not many make it to 6 1/2[&o]
Seems to me that there have been pics of some pretty big bucks from NC on HNI lately...
Statistically...Germ has less of a chance at a P&Y deer in MI than you do in NC
This is relevant, how?????
Where would you go to kill a biggun? Somebody once said.....there are lies, damn lies and statistics. I've never seen a deer here from, from stand, that would top 120".
