RE: The great antler debate continues.
if they go with the 125 min. score restriction, then they will have to guve people a bit of a lee way on them. like lets say 10 inches. i never meant for people to have to guess the deers score right on the dot.
all the outfitters around where i hunt don't sit right next to the person in the stand and tell them to shoot. even if they do around where you hunt, im sure they let the hunter guess if he is big enough first. then they go from there.
still this year in IL will be bull****, because they did away with check stations and won't be able to measure the deer or check if it has the min. ammount of pts. in doing so there will be more poachers in the woods killing deer than ever before. people who process their own meat can kil a buck and tag it as a doe. the only way they will catch people is when they take the meat to a processer.
don't you see though WV hunter, we have such good deer genes and QDM around in pike co., that that is the reason we don't want the AR's. where some people hunt, it may be the only thing that works, but where i hunt in Pike, it will make it worse. if they put AR's in IL i don't think it will be across the entire state, only the counties with low #'s and poor buck genes.
