Vermont definitely had to do something as the herd, at least in the areas we used to hunt was in rough shape. I do think they should have a minimum of 3 points on 1 side vs the 1" 2nd point rule. My observations of Vermont deer hadover half of all1 1/2 year olds as forkers or spike's with 1" bumps. Not going to protect very many 1 1/2 year olds if you can shoot any little forker you see. But it is a start.

I don't think there will be as much of a fight in Vermont as there was in PA, as most hunters agree the hunting in Vermont hasn't been overly good in years.
