The only limiting factor in my area is age and weather, genetics really dont mean squat. If we have a light winter, the deer dont need to regain health, they can cut right to producing their antlers. Theres plenty of good nutrition around here thats for sure. Our wicked long gun season and hunter numbers just dont allow many bucks to survive. Hunters around here are certainly not as picky as me. As long as a buck is 3.5+, I dont care if he's 100 or 140, im probably still gonna shoot him....
