I'm still going with lier, but maybe you can't read tables and interpret data. Of the sample of bucks surveyed 50.4% were indeed 2.5 years old in Pike (I'm going out on a limb and trusting you can divide). BUUTTT you can't make the leap from that to the entire population of bucks harvested in Pike from that data. That data is not a representative sample of the age of bucks killed in Pike county in that year. It is simply the number of bucks that were 1.5 and 2.5 years old used in the study to determine the percentage of bucks in each age class with x amount of points. They did not make the interpretation you did because they Know it's wrong, not valid, untrue, and in your case a known lie. These bucks came from voluntary check stations(a dissproportionate amount of hunters who shoot a big buck represented becuase they want to show it to people and they are curious about it's age), meat lockers, taxidermy shops, etc. etc. Taxidermy shops are loaded with bucks 2.5 years old and older. The numbers are not representative of the age class of all bucks shot in Pike, were not intended to be used for that purpose, nor were they, by anyone else but you. Trouble is you keep saying it and folks will believe it. Like I said, I do think your smarter than that, so that only leaves the alternative. Fondly, Juniorpc
