"Large mule deer bucks are very crafty and are a rare site in this day and age. Because of the incredible pressures put upon them, the numbers of trophy bucks are continually declining. Genetics, nutrition and age have much to do with antler growth. Genetics play as much a part of a mule deer's life as they do for a human. It takes the genetics of both the male and female mule deer to produce a big trophy class buck. Weather can also play a big part in producing trophy mule deer. A mild winter, no late spring snowstorms and enough moisture to make sure summer ranges are in good shape are needed in order to give a mule deer a chance at producing the best antlers possible. A mule deer buck must also be given the opportunity to mature, which in most cases is 5-8 years of age. During that period, a mule deer buck is considered in his prime and will produce the best sets of antlers of his life."
