Jeff, I can only say that I would take a big rack over a worn jawbone any day in any state. Not being smartazz, just the way it is.
Some of us see a big deers rack as a form of art by nature.
I have never seen a deer jawbone collection on anyones walls, even in Florida.

Try this next Whitetail Deer show you go to, Take the jawbone from the 4 1/2 year old you taged and start showing it to people and tell them what a trophy it was without a picture and see what reaction you get, they will be pushing people out of the way to get away from you.

Its all about how much bone is one their head (allways has been, allways will be), and to most, has nothing to do with how old they are.
