DAMMIT.. I was done with this thread.. and all ya'll had to pull me back in..
If it's sources you want.. go get them. Try google.. read a book.. whatever.. I already know the answer.. you're seeking it.. so go find it. Often I have went to cite someone from a book on this site only to have everyone NOT listen anyway's. If you want sources.. seek them yourselves. I no longer search for them.. so everyone can draw there own decision anyway.
And no.. I'm not the end all be all in this thread or any other.. I am simply stating the works of some of the great biologists who exist today. What I find funny is everyone's take on mature buck's and there relationship to there antler's. THAT'S FUNNY.. and Huntingson nailed it right on the head.
Yes.. a 4.5 will more than likely have a bigger rack and body than a 3.5 yr. old. You are correct.
But the question was "is a 3.5 yr. old mature".. the answer is YES.. IT IS.
Am I getting through.. are we understanding.. I'm only answering the proposed question based on noted biologist's.. that's it.
(Incidently.. this entire post is said with quiet humor.. not anger.. I am merely making fun of everyone who gets mad at others and takes themselves way to seriously)[8D]
Duke if the 3.5 deer I shoot has ADD is he still mature?
