Default RE: The great antler debate continues.

This has gotten out of hand. Please, stop critisizing and just read opinions and dont pick out any certain names or quotes, I am against AR's, thats all Im gonna say, and Im going to give reason to back that up, if you don't like it, Im sorry, but I have never been for AR's because you cant manage a mature buck with small antlers, therefore, you cannot manage the herd. The whole point of AR's is to manage the herd. I was giving out suggestions on a practical solution to a problem, I did not intend to cause an uproar. Your right, some people can't judge antler sizes, but what determines if its a point? Are you going to zoom in and see if its over one inch? No, thats why you use common sense. Ask yourself, "if I shoot this buck, will it effect the herd?" I am fed up with AR's becuase I have seen so many yearlings with 8 points. If you really care enough about your deer herd, then by god, do what is best for it, not for the state. If there is a mature 6 point, then take it, you will pay in the long run when you have tons of 3x3's running around. The only solution is your judgement.
