RE: The great antler debate continues.
There is no law that will ever help on this. U have to use your own judgement, NO LAWS, U are the only one who can determine if its a shooter or not. If its a big mature 6 point that needs to come off the herd, then I am damn well gonna take it off the herd. Luckily, there is no Law in IL yet. If there is, Im not going to be the one who will let a big 6 point pass because the law requires that I SCREW up my quality deer herd. If its gonna ruin my chances at getting a bigger buck on down the road, then Im doing what I need to do. There should be no Law, there should be a thing called common sense, but since about 60% of the hunters cant do the smart thing and let little bucks walk, the rely on a dumb law that solves nothing at all. Its all they can do. But I am still against AR's for management purposes. Do what U will, but dont go to the state when U have a bunch of little 6 points runing around because U couldnt take off the bad apple in the herd because there was apoint limit.
