    Enough moisture?

    Well beer has estrogenic effect I’ve heard so you could grow man boobs from drinking it

    Enough moisture?

    And accusing me of putting words in someone’s mouth when this started with assuming I didn’t care about age and genetics when I only mentioned feed.

    Enough moisture?

    I started with this quote. You went to this. Which to me sounds a bit like an insult. what is the correlation to drought conditions and bulls getting bigger than during wet years. I want to learn

    You know what if* means, and if you weren’t saying than what were you saying? I want to learn, teach me

    Elk get bigger with maximum feed, change my mind

    Enough moisture?

    I think they elk eat what’s available and wouldn’t pass up nutrient dense food. The topic is moisture related to antler growth, and If you’re saying that drought years they get as big or bigger because of a change in diet I find that hard to believe. I could be wrong maybe they do get bigger on drought years, I’ve never done a controlled study on that, I guess you have

    Enough moisture?

    Doesn’t make sense to me. Why would they avoid a nutrient dense plant during wet years? Unless it was only available during drought years edit: I drink ipas and coors light on the same nights all the time

    Enough moisture?

    Then I’ve heard that animals switch feeds in drought years to plants that provide more protein or whatever nutrients but that doesn’t make sense to me at face value

    Enough moisture?

    That’s really easy, simply increase your total daily energy expenditure. But that’s exactly why bulls theoretically should need a lot of feed to grow excessive antlers

    Enough moisture?

    I don’t have it in front of me but if remember right, in the book the golden age of elk hunting it states 1999 was a severe drought year, there wasn’t a single book bull killed on the WMAT.

    And your response made wonder because I only said “Take the greatest athlete on earth and don’t feed him. Won’t reach full potential” Do supreme genetic old age class bulls reach full potential with poor feed? Seems illogical to me
  12. trphyhntr

    Enough moisture?

    I didn’t say anything negating age or genetics. But I’d like to hear how an under fed old and supreme genetics bull could be bigger than if it was well fed. Just seems illogical, but I’m not an expert you know more about elk than I ever will

    Enough moisture?

    Who doesn’t think that genetics and age class are important?

    Take the greatest athlete on earth and don’t feed him. Won’t reach full potential.

    Sheds? To Early?

    I just usually base the desert deer off the one year I ran cams in the spring and this herd of a few bucks all dropped the first week of April.

    Sheds? To Early?

    dang, and I was gonna stay home all day Sunday. Guess I’ll go look again

    Sheds? To Early?

    Elk? Definitely gotta be some laying out there. Desert carp deer have not dropped

    His comments about trolling were as dumb as the Tom Brady one. but you can probably cast across the whole thing now

    Idk I don’t play the lottery, but if I did I’d probably have better luck than I’ve had drawing elk tags
