New here, not sure if this has been discussed yet or not, but would like to get opinions on the topic...

If you are not aware, the Texas Parks and Wildlife had used 13 counties in experimenting with a new law that would not allow hunters to take a non-spike buck unless he had an inside spread of over 13 inches... You could take one spike (or one buck with one unbranched beam) and one buck with a 13 or over inside spread...

You're supposed to judge this by the spread compared to the deer's ears in the alert position, which should be around 13 inches...

The experiment satisfied the TPW and they went ahead and added more counties in that general area to the list of counties that would have to follow these guidelines...

Now, I honestly believe that this is a good thing overall... But what about those bucks you wanna cull? I know people in the area who still cull a buck to whipe out the genes instead of taking their spike and minus the law breakage, I can't really blame them...

So, what do you non-fair-chasers who do not have the luxery of hunting 10k acre public-land and are involved in game-management think about this...

Just sturring up some convo...

nice forum by the way...
