We have great soil we even have a 90 acre field with irrigation that’s planted in foraged soybeans and peanuts for the deer, for summertime.thats why I feel it’s more a genetics than anything.look at around Fulton county they don’t get that big eating asphalt and azaleas.I want a big 8. There is something about a 140+ 8 point that nothing compares to. How's the soil in your area? Seems like you can feed them with all your money but if the soil ain't right it's hard. Soil in this area is bad. I've seen plenty of good deer but they ain't no Midwest deer.
