Sorry to say this but people that think antler restrictions are just for trophy animals are fooling themselves. Do you really think it is good for 1 to 1 1/2 buck to be the majoritybreeder deer in a heard? Same goes for does.The same goes for does too, shoot to many and all your 1 1/2 year old does are breeding and it causes hight motallity rate in fawns..Allot of people just don't realize that the Game commisions aren't just putting these restrictions out there for bigger antlers even though that is a big plus for some. Meat on the table mentality is good but think about when you have thousands of hunters thinking the same way. It is good to have diversity in the hunting community,some meat hunters andsome trophy hunters. So some of the"meat hunters" that don't realize this should wake up and smell the tarsel glands LOL
