Is the average buck taken in the Adirondacks older then most parts of the state ?

With its dense forest and unpopulated areas .

Do they harvest much older bucks in the Adirondacks

Then the rest of the state. 

Anyone know the stats for this ?

What's the  average age of a buck taken in the Adirondacks?

In 2017, only 20% of bucks harvested in the ADK were 3.5 or older.  There is a region by region breakdown.

I would have to think that the vehicle toll would be much lower than down state, but then again the more severe winters may balance that out.

I'm surprised by that because usually   seems like the ones you see guys taking from there  have  these really big bodies   that you would expect on a older deer 

or thats the impression I always got that they were older bucks .

Maybe just genetics from living in a tuffer climate and Terrain then outside the park ?
