PA has a similar law. most of the state is restricted to 3 points per side. The western part of the state there are a few WMU's that are restricted to 4 points. Within the past 2 years I've notice more bigger racked buck. Which was nice. As far as youth hunting goes. I believe youth hunters in PA aren't restricted but the AR.

Also like to state that genetics have NOTHING to do with age. The same genes any animal is born with they will die with, they don't change, ever! So allowing a young deer to breed or an older deer to breed will have nothing to do with the offsprings rack. Now as deer get older, like in humans, there are chances of mutations in the offspring. A yearling can breed a doe and the offspring will have the same chance of having a nice rack, as a doe that was breed by an older buck. Assuming that the younger buck and older buck have comparable genetics. Taking out the six point bucks may not be good QDM if the bucks are young. Who's to say that next year they wouldn't be 8 pt or better.
