Antler development question.

[huntn30inchers]

Today my brother and I were scouting for his hunt and we found a group of 5 or 6 bucks, all but one tiny spike was an identical 3 point. Good height and width and really deep forks, they all looked like young bucks but I am by no means an expert. I guess my question is do bucks naturally go from a 3 to a 4 or are those genetically inferior bucks?

Too hard to tell with a one time sample size. Some bucks o from 2x2 to 4x4, some from spike to 3x3. With that many 3x3's I would say genetics for that area are 3 point strong, but all of them could be 4+ next year but could also be big 3's.

Yellum, your taxidermist needs to put his head on forward. I'm pretty sure someone put those sheds on backwards. Funny looking! LOL

Let me guess, you drive a 1 ton with oak trees for smoke stacks, 12" lift kit and 40" tires to pull a single place lawn mower trailer?

Hahaha that mount is great. As far as your question, I think yelum nailed it.
