Ray, Great deer again. Everyone wants higher "score" and older years of age. BUT you just showed a great example of what BIG bucks need.
3 things:
FOOD/habitat
Genetics (cull the spikes & the opportunistic doe breeders)
Time............. 3 years is NOT that long for trophy bucks in your areas.
And if you can Watch over the "area" with trail cams, it makes the waiting/confidence to pass on smaller bucks & does ALOT easier, KNOWING whats on your trail cam HIT LIST ! I feel like a WW II fighter pilot when hunting now with pics of the "buck hit list" ==== the pictures of the certain ships/targets i am only after.
