Those giant 6-7 pointers are probably 5-6 years old and need to be removed so they don't spread those genes. That 8pt you shot last year how old was he ?If he was only2-3 years old we would have become a way bigger 8+ pt by age 5-6.Age and genetics in the are will help determine how big, heavy and how many points that deer will get. I have had some big 3 1/2 year old 8s that have become 10'S and bigger the older they got. If you kill them young you will never know...
