ya i'd have to agree with most of the people here. Its all about the diet and genetics in the area. In sask here the average bucks are pretty nice because the land is very high in minerals and nutrition to go along with good genetics. oh ya deer do not have the same diets. I have heard in the states lthat deer really enjoy apples or corn. If i put out a pile of apples or corn here for the deer they would think i was losin my mind. the deer here really seem to go for basically any ceral or pulse crop as well as the hay lands.
