I am not looking at the numbers currently but did read up on this a couple of months ago. Now that the restrictions have been in place for a few years the harvest numbers for buck are about the same The only difference is that folks are now shooting 3 1/2 year old bucks instead of 1 1/2 year old bucks. The restrictions protected most 1 1/2 and most 2 1/2 year old deer but almost all of the 3 1/2 year old bucks qualified. I may change my mind later but right now I think it is a good thing.
