The PGc has generated plenty of data showing the average age of our harvested buckshas gone up. data on body size and antler size will change much more gradually
If the PGC has generated the data that showed the average age of the bucks has gone up significatly,please produce that data. Actually the average age of all bucks harvested has increased by about 1 month and that is a fact based on PGC data.
Not my quote. I noticed you mixed and matched a few in your last 3 posts. Must have been a long day.
Like I said I have [not] seen that data.
Average age of bucks harvested:
My calculations show an increase of 1.8 months from 2000 to 2004.
Either way: 6%(1month) or 11%(1.8mo) is significant for a deer. I wish I could increase my life expectancy that much!
