i can say i observed this last year.

the bucks with nice racks, say 6 poiint were all small looking deer.
i would guess and say they were 1.5 yr old deer with big racks.

i never saw that in awhile but as you said, acorns were great for 2 years and bucks grew big horns.

i dont think i see many bucks 2.5 years old harvested in clinton county, most i feel are 1.5 years old.
