So you're saying a guy who charges by the pound, might be incentivized to put his thumb on the scale!
The conversion chart I found also had chest girth as another data input. This leads me to another question for you.
Is there any management value in keeping historical data on the girth, hoof weight, and field-dressed weight of your deer?
P.S. Two years ago, at least 50% of the bucks on camera had broken antlers. There were spike bucks with only a stub remaining on one side. There were little 4-point bucks with both antlers damaged. Some of the big 8-point bucks had a large tine broken off.
Do you think this was a nutrition problem? Environmental problem? (I am making one up for example - lots of ticks at the base of their antlers while they were in velvet.) Or a big buck that had tines that were quite effective at "grabbing" on to the antlers of the smaller deer?
Thanks for all of the help RAH! I am more of a quail hunter than a deer hunter.
