TreeJay and others,
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.
Now I agree with you 100% Bryan, But I took one in Kansas in 94 that was aged at (best they could tell) 11 1/2! But my Wife and 2 Son's clame the Old Buck was Senile, and could no longer SEE, HEAR, or SMELL well anymore, and not eligible for Trophy status!
