You said you wanted to debate deer management and yet you keep going back to off topic venom. Yes they do random aging. Our crew has been approached and had it done. They never measured the rack however. As far as I have seen, the only measuring happens at the PGC records program sessions. Not exactly a scientific sample
They do more than just random aging and the sampling method does in fact produce a scientific sample . Remember we we told that ARs would double or triple the number of 8 pts. the only way that could happen is if the average number of points on 2.5+ buck increased. But the number of 2.5+ buck didn't double and the number of 8 pt. buck did not double, so there is no evidence that the rack size of the average 2.5 + buck increased.
