Whether you are trying to grow a giant buck on your property or searching public land looking for the biggest deer you can find, this video is a must-watch.
In this video, Brian Murphy and Dr. Karl Miller separate fact from fiction when it comes to antler development in whitetail deer. Brian was the CEO of the Quality Deer Management Association (now the National Deer Association) for 23 years, and Dr. Karl Miller, professor emeritus at the University of Georgia, has been professionally studying whitetails for over 45 years. In this video we discuss:
- The difference between antlers and horns
- How to tell if an antler deformity is genetic or not
- What makes a buck display non-typical points
- What to look for in hunting properties if you are trying to find or grow huge bucks
- Some of the biggest bucks tagged each year are...immature?!
- Are you lowering the quality of the genetics in a deer herd by shooting trophy bucks?
- What constitutes a "management buck"
- What most bucks are genetically programmed to look like
- What makes a good "cull buck"
- What is it that makes a buck's antlers so gnarled at the bases?
and tons more!
