Jason,your right change does scare people.the 6 sublegal bucks could possibly & probably will be legal next year.But,for the past 3 years there has been a heavy palmented 4 point on my farm,if there is such a thing as a trophy 4 point this buck would be it,believe me this buck is huge body & rack.Now he is protected unless my kids get a shot at him.Mr. Alt wants the bigger boys to do the breeding,I've watched this 4 point kick the $hit out of a couple of decent 8 pointers last year & this year this buck is breeding some does.He has been a 4 point for 3 years now & apparently thats all he'll ever be.In my opinion we're not hunting "High-Fenced" game.I hunt fields where shots can range from 50 -450 yards.If a buck busts a field usually they are on the fly you can't count points.At one of Mr. Alt's meetings I personally questioned him & told him about the giant 4 pointer,I said "most" managed places want the smaller bucks shot.His reply"If I told the hunters they could only shoot 4 or 6 pointers,how many licenses would we sell".I have taken some big bucks & really don't want to argue,I'm no biologist.What about slug guns?I hunt the mid-west & have seen & gotten some real monsters out there.Don't get me wrong,I love rifle hunting,I set up like I'm out west On the edge of a field overlooking a swamp.But with a slug gun I would have to definatley change tactics.With a slug gun don't you think more deer would get through to the next season?Just my .02 cents worth.
