Default RE: The great antler debate continues.

No, I don't support it because not every buck out there is genetically disposed to growing a minimum of 7 or 8 antler points. If these "lesser" deer can't be removed from the herd, they continue to pass on their genes. Plus, you're removing the "better" deer, possibly before they can pass on their genes. It's not a good idea. Also, you're leaving older bucks that may be past growing that many points, and those deer still make delicious steaks and burgers.

If the state really wants to grow bigger bucks, decrease the number of antlered tags and increase the doe tags. You'll get bigger bucks in a couple of seasons, and people who depend on venison for food will still fill their freezers.
