CONGRATS to all of ya on some nice whitetails!!! Numbers certainly aren't everything butthey're fun to look back on once in awhile.As many have mentioned before, AGE is more of a determing factor of trophy status than score is, higher scoring animals only mean that genetics andnutrition are better for one area over another. Congrats again to all of you guys on some quality animals.
Although I agree with you....I think we're in the minority in this thinking. I've never killed a 1.5 yr old buck.....and I guess I never will. Still.....everything I shoot is judged on rack size.
"Higher scoring animals only mean that genetics and nutrition are better for one area over another."?? Makes too much sense.
Rough guessing....I'd like to be at 1000" by my 50th birthday......9 yrs in.....and hunting only NC.
