Which Ranch Would Produce Bigger Bucks?
With all things being equal, such as food type and food supply, doe population, soil conditions, size of ranch, predator lossesand deer harvested/killed per year
Harvest conditions would be different, though.
RANCH #1........ The only bucks that could beharvested on this ranch would be small racked deer. Deer thathad 4 or more points per side and a spread of 15 inches would be off limits.
Ranch #2....... The only bucks that could be harvested on this ranch would be deer that carried a rack with at least 4 points per side and a spread of at least 15 inches. All deer with less than 4 points per side and spreads smaller than 15 inches would be off limits.
After 7 years, which ranch would have the largest racked bucks?
