If we averaged those scores over the entire 90 year period, The total variation over that entire time of the average was plus or minus 1% making your claim that average scores dropped a reach at best.
And that also means you think RSB is full of horse puckey when he claimed the quality of bucks were decreasing due to the poor habitat.
What IS significant is that the immediate past two decades (and this one is not over yet) produced the two highest numbers of high quality bucks from (as you so adamantly claim) a smaller total population of deer.
You never cease to amaze me with your total ignorance. the past 2 decades included the all time record population of at least 1.6M deer. Never before in the history of our herd had the population came close to 1.6m PS deer.
