Are you asking why so many bucks score 120" or less at maturity?

That is the case just about anywhere you go. Gross B&C scores have been taken all over the country at managed farms and properties, showing similar results. The average mature buck, even on some of the best properties in the best soils, is still in the 120s. It's like a bell curve. The majority of deer are going to fall in the 110-130" category at maturity. The farther you get away from the 120s the fewer number of deer make up that score class. Only 2 out of every 100 bucks born even have the genetic material to produce a 150"+ rack at maturity. The odds of those two surviving long enough to express that potential is very low. I have tried for years to get people to realize that there are a lot of mature AL bucks running around with 100-115" of antler that NEVER get killed because they don't meet criteria on the property they are on. It's unfortunate, because they need killing. Lot of people aren't going to do it because they assume they are young deer, when in fact, they are not. I've taken 7 years of data from the same property, and dozens of bucks, most of which were 4 or older (very few 3 year olds), and the average score is less than 120". The range is like 87"-149". That's on a well-managed property.
