[QUOTE="retrieverman, post: 2835617, member: 24452"] I am for all practical purposes a trophy hunter and have been "managing" the same small piece of land for 12 years, and I can attest to the fact that every buck doesn't have the genetic makeup to be a "trophy" animal no matter how old he is. This is the first year I've ever killed two bucks in OK, and the two bucks I killed tend to prove my point about genetic potential. Both my bucks were over 6 and weighed over 250 lbs, but one had a 186" rack and the other 125". I can also factor my son's 160 class buck into the equation. I've had all three of these bucks on game camera for at least 3 years, and as far as I know, they were all born and raised in the general vicinity of my property thus having the same food sources. So why would two of them be what I consider a "trophy class" animals and one not? All I can come up with is genetics. [/QUOTE]
