Nice deer and great job with the mentoring!
Your buck is the classic example of my arguement that points based AR would serve no value in much of NY. A great deer regardless of age that makes for fond memories.

Using this example against the AR argument would not be exactly scientific. Although it is true that 1.5 year old bucks with 8 points is not uncommon, most 1.5 year old bucks will carry racks ranging from spikes to 6 points. From my many years of hunting experience, I know this to be fact. Using the odds, AR will protect the majority of 1.5 year old bucks.
