Alt was clearly mistaken when he claimed we'd have more and bigger bucks than ever before.He did not however,claim the 2.5 year old bucks would be bigger,regardless of howdeep you look into that statement.I think he was clearly trying to say that we'd have more and bigger bucks because we were saving a higher percentage of 1.5 year old bucks which would allowMORE bucks to makeit into older age classesthus making them BIGGER.He never even mentioned the size of the 2.5 year old bucks changing.Furthermore,age has nothing to do with genetics and studies show that antler size in not indicative of what bucks will do the breeding.
