You got a couple of big boys out there bustin up those little racks andthat buck doe ratio probably has them fighting feircly and heavily. I think a mineral deficiency would affect antler development so personally I rule that out.

Yup same here. We have property that has very few broken racks, but many many does. We also have a property with many broken racks. Ratio very close to 1:1. Both heavily managed properties. Just too many does to deal with on the first.

I have seen this for many years down in the mountains that we hunt for regular season. Down around Ridgway. I have taken alot of bucks down there over the years and most had a broken tine or two. There have always been lots of does down there until recently so I'm thinking diet has alot to do with it.
