Interesting. When comparing the northern part of Lowndes county to Dallas county both have the same river bottom system that run through the county so is it fair to assume that both have the same potential? Or no even though they are both black belt area river bottom soils it's just a different type of river bottom soil in Dallas that is more fertile, etc. Or, is it genetics, average tract size and management differences. I see record book bucks killed all over the state every now and then, but I'm really interested in is what makes certain black belt areas today produce more book bucks than other black belt areas (on average). From what I here a lot is the soil difference, however, some areas are both black belt soils but some clearly produce more than the other. Some areas may be more prone to producing ten point frames while others are more prone to producing 8 points, while other have more messed up racks, while some have typical vs non typical.
