I’m ashamed to admit the most eye-opening thing that I was unaware of that actually shocked me was that:

Male deer/bucks shed their antlers every year.

I always thought that the 10, 12, 14+ point bucks were old and elusive as shite “earned” their points over a long period... for instance, I thought that a 14-point buck is just older and more savvy... and he started years ago as a 4-point, etc.

I’m not a hunter, so it was kind of mind blowing TBH.

you are not wrong, older bucks have bigger racks. Each year they lose them and if their genetics are good and the buck is healthy he will grow a larger rack the following year.

So the thought that 10+ point bucks are elusive and earned their racks is pretty accurate. That and most hunting clubs won't allow the shooting of smaller racks in order for them to grow and get bigger
