With a larger herd of greater average age, we should have more bucks that might bear trophy antlers. But, if we had more deer, feed for each one would be less and probably buck hunt ing would be less rewarding in terms of big racks. This is about the way T A. Long and R. L. Cowan of the Department of Animal Nutrition of the Agricultural Experiment Station, Pennsyl vania State University, sum up the situation.

Mature bucks do not need to be quite as well fed as yearlings to grow good racks, the newest information indi cates in Progress Report 209, published by the Agricultur al Experiment Station at Penn State. Drs. Long and Cowan point out that most of the deer shot by hunters are yearlings and two-year olds, according to Game Commission records. Since young bucks still are growing, body growth takes precedence over antler de velopment. The young age of bucks, plus the large deer herds ip the State and lack of adequate browse, account for small antlers. studies at State Uni the view of good necessary The claim made by hunters With MA-CO Complete GROW ING RATION every bit of It* 18% (min.) protein go#* to work for your bird*.

Way suggests such a practice be discarded as the cow’s needs for nutrients are great immediately before and after calving.
