[QUOTE="luvcatchingbass, post: 235733, member: 1979"] Over the years in my area I have noticed very similar, I've come down to that there are 2 different gene pools. Although our neighbors daughter got a wide tall 5x5 with youth rifle on our place that changed that theory but it didn't have much mass yet and seems that it was a younger buck, it is still funny that its a bigger buck than her dad and how jealous the boys at school are and I still chuckle when a swing by and see it on the wall:D. As far as watching the same deer on camera from year to year we have had a couple we catch 2yrs for sure but not very many. If I'm hunting for head gear I used to try to look at the body first if I have time then the head, now I think I judge a deer on body size first and the rest just becomes gravy after that. Bigger body=mature deer=more meat (although maybe not as tender). Then there are the days where I say to myself "that one looks tasty enough" [COLOR="silver"][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] I still think I am not very good at guessing but it is fun to try.
