      Boy I wish It was All That Easy My Friend. I Have Slowly Learned How Much Feed Is Over Rated. But, That's a Whole Different Story

          The way I was able to figure it out was the half tail...the double throat patch was my first observation, but they arent few and far between where I hunt. I didnt even realize the deer had half of a tail in 2014, it wasn't until 2015 and I was trying to identify the buck and I watched a video from the previous year and saw the tail. No clue what happened in 2014 that gave him such a weird rack, and then such a symmetrical rack the next.

            Pretty sure he was a 2 year old in 2014. I was hunting in a populated area of Grayson County and not sure what happened in 2014 to cause the lack of horns, or what happened in 2015 that gave him such a pretty rack. Might have been hit by a car...who knows? I just believe there are plenty of young deer from year to year that get shot for one reason or another, mostly junky racks, that could go on to be great bucks, but they never get the chance.

              Geez...sorry I missed the tail.

              So it is the same deer. I still gotta think there was something else going on other than genetics.

                Probably injury at some point

                    That’s MY word! Use it proudly and wisely. It is NOT to be confused with “cull”.

                          Manage for mouths. Of those mouths you are removing, remove mature deer. In the meantime, do your best to maximize nutrition. Age and nutrition. Simple as that.

                          Cotulla Cowboys (nice one Smart!) will see a bunch six points running around and shoot all them and then the next year tell you how good their culling plan is because they aren't seeing six points. No crap you're not seeing them because they are dead but that doesn't mean that your herd won't continue to throw six pointers.

                            What advantage will you get from killing that 7 point over shooting a doe?

                              Because your management plan calls for X amount of bucks to be killed. You probably kill the doe too.

                                That is a reason, not an advantage.
