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.
That's not how the law and legal systemworks. If it gave 10", then why not set the limit at 115"? I guarantee you that not even 10% of hunters can judge a rack +/- 10", 100% of the time. The answer is not in antler restrictions thatturn honest hunters into criminals becauseof unrealistic requirements that are hard to judge in real world conditions mandated bya bunchof antler chasers thatare upsetthat trophy deer, by definition, are(and ought to be) rare and prized.
If every deer were record-book sized, then there'd be nothing special about taking one and no point to keeping track.It's like grade inflation for deer. A 150" rack isn't worth anything if everyone else has one hanging on their wall too.
I hope that Iowa has the good sense to never change deer hunting to antler hunting.
