Default RE: Will a mature 9 pt. always be a 9 pt.??

This year I killed a mature 7 pointer. Took him to the taxiderm. to see his thoughts on the age of the deer. He said he would estimate his age at 4 1/2 to 5 years of age. His antlers were about 12" wide and 10" high, very dark, very thick, and only his brow tines had points. The rest were rounded off.

The taxiderm. said this deer probably hit is potential last year and went down hill this year. He also said his potential was probably a 7 point but a lot wider and better horns.
