This isn't about money.It's about the majority of hunters wanting to shoot a buck, and a bigger one than just a spike or forkhorn. end of story.
like i said earlier it isn't the perfect way to do it. how do you tell a hunter "don't shoot a spike if it's been a spike for two or more years"?
so it's all about meat guys right? sure it is

.I'm sure all of you guys out there don't care in the least if you shoot a 150" 10 point or a little unicornspike. in fact you prefer the spike because the meat is better. i believe you, really, no, i swear i do, seriously!In fact, if the 10 and the spike were standing right next to each other, you'd definitely shoot the spike right?because you don't care you'rejust a meat hunter.
don't get me wrong, there's obviously a lot of people against antler restrictions. but, there are very very very few who really don't care if they shoot a spike or a huge buck.
