RE: Antler Restrictions are working!
We have antler restrictions here in MO as well buta buck must have 4 points on one side. I dont mind it because it increases total racked buck #'s, but I also think as someone said earlier, it increases dinky bucks. I think the best way to add a large # of bigger racked bucks would be to have about two seasons where all a hunter can kill is bucks that dont have 4 points on either side. This will keep all the already big bucks around to breed the does and get rid of the smaller "brush rack" deer. Then put 4 point antler restrictions on to protect the offspring of the superior bucks. I mean you dont let your cull bull breed your cows. I know this will never happen though because it will keep your average hunter from hunting if the law makes 0% chance to kill a big buck. I do think it would work though. GoodLuck to all.
