RAH, I'm seeing the same thing here. I have some nice deer that are only 2.5-3.5 years old but they are shot on adjoining properties before they can really get large. Those are 5, maybe 10 acre parcels.

The deer have 8-10 points, but short tines or no mass. Only a few are nice, but they still could use 2 years of growth to get big.

I put out a camera yesterday, so I will see what survived the opener.
