How is the age of a deer and indicator of stress? What age would be an indicator of stress?

How would the PGC collect enough data on antler casting to use it as an indicator of stress? When does a healthy buck that is not stressed cast his antlers? How would you account for other factors that that may influence antler casting?

What B/D ratio produces the least stress? How would you attain that ratio statewide? Does reduced testosterone levels in 1.5 buck indicate increased or decreased stress levels?

How much fat should an unstressed buck have compared to a stressed buck and how would you measure it?



What level of significance would you assign to each factor?
