[QUOTE="PrairieGhost, post: 238962, member: 704"] I forget some of the things I learned in wildlife biology, but there is some scientific reason that says you get bigger bucks with lower populations. I don't remember if it's less competition for food resources, less fighting for does that depletes body reserves or what the reason was. I seen more big white-tail this fall than any other fall in my lifetime. [URL]https://www.outdoornews.com/2018/04/...ecline-sports/[/URL] That's an excellent article Captain.
