Default RE: Tricks that you use when field judging whitetails?

ORIGINAL: buckeyebuckhntr

You were using the ears and eyesas reference to judge mature whitetails , I have read in one of those hunting books that when they'er born , there ears and eyes will be the same size as to when they get older.
So even if this were true (which I dont believe the ears bit and I am skeptical about the eyes) would those not be accurate refrence point? An inch and a half is still and inch and a half right? Seven inches will still be seven inches as well......
Yes ... inch and a half is still an inch and a half and seven inch's is still seven inch's but when your trying to determine if a buck is mature you really can't go by the eyes and ears.
They'll be the same wheather if the buck is a one and a half year old or if it's four and a half years old.
So let the debate continue and say it is better to judge a bucks snout than it's ear's.
