1) South Mathews soil subtype changes to a slightly sandier less fertile soil
2) more timber in the south so higher population densities/ more competition for browse
3) more pressure from the heavier timbered properties. A lot of north Mathews is a mix of pastures, woods, and houses.



I would speculate the same things you mentioned. Plus I think there are fewer 6 and 7 point antler genetics in north Matthews.
