Can you get scions off that original tree?

Those don't look viable.

These are the bucks that make it to 6+ with ease in my area. He went 127 I think it was. Definitely under 130 I do remember that. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Put up a few purple martin houses at my grandma's place this summer. They moved in pretty quick and seem to be doing a number on insects around her house/garden.

Just throwing out real world examples of what's running around now. You decide what the data says to you :) I've wondered if the giant bucks from yesteryear, that haven't had modern bucks to match them, weren't a product of super low deer densities where they had unlimited top quality...

This 3 year old sure was visible. He was popped later during rifle season on a neighboring property. I had his left side shed as a 2 year old and he was easy to identify. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

There’s a fair number of older bucks in my area that aren’t 130”. You can bet you a$$ that most people will not shoot them either. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Some great young deer this year. We shall see how many get another time around the sun. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

From what I’ve witnessed, the genetics are still there at 2-3, but with more people holding out for bigger antlers they’re forgetting to factor age into it. A 150” 3 year old is a sitting duck for the rifle season. I’ve tracked multiple bucks that were stellar at 3.5 to see how many make it...

1400 acres....I'd call that the jackpot

I'd have to go back to be certain, but they're around 12-14 I think. They've had acorns for quite a few years now.

Lots of action on my new alfalfa field planted this spring. It’s ~2.5 acres total. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

A few on my farm have a good amount of acorns, while some don’t have any. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Looks like people are ordering today.

This is the mentality a leader needs to have for the free world…. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This is the first change in regulations that no one in MO would balk at that would be a step in the right direction. I could see lease prices going down and some people dropping out because of it while also increasing age structure.

MO has never been high on age structure talks. The majority of deer hunters in MO would like to shoot a big buck, but don't want to be hindered in the pursuit of such. If they really wanted bigger deer, they would have voted for a later season instead of apr's....MO hunters like their rifles...

They hold their leaves like a swamp white oak does.

Planted acorn to growing acorns 2016-2024. It’s holding them this year and they’re good sized. This is the type of Quercus alba that may get people to bite for planting in the urban landscapes since it has more vigor than most white oaks. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
