I have not seen any improvement over the size of bucks since the antler restriction came upon us.All the bucks I have seen are the same as they was 20 years ago.Anyone seen any major antler growthoutside ofprivate or posted property? I have always seen 16 to 20 inch spreads on bucks of 8 or more points.That is common for Pa. The way they made it sound we was goanna have farm type deer here.I haven't seen any improvement.The only diffrence I have noticed is the no. of gun shots in the woods.I would think that is because of the restriction and hunters are checking out to make sure it's legal before they fire instead of blasting away at a deer with antlers.That brings me to this,People didn't see bigger bucks before,cause they shot the first one they seen.So,I would say if you do see bigger bucks it's because you wasn't allowed to shoot the small points one and had to waite for a larger caliber deer to come by.But,I myself do not see any size increase in the racks even as I spotted this season. What I think is goanna happen is,The small bucks are goanna be the breeder with the does with all the larger racked deers being takein.This if anything is goanna reduce the size of antlers on the bucks.My theory is shoot the small bucks and get them out of the gene poll.I seen 7 small racked bucks monday that I couldn't shoot.They wasn't yearlings either.The racks was small and irregular to boot.I think they got this backwards and should look into this.You have to agree if there are smaller racked deers left in the woods they are goanna be the main breeders and the rack size is goanna diminish over the years..PERIOD
