As I looked through the photos on the Virginia kill thread, I began to ponder "what beautiful bucks wewould becapable of producing if hunters did not kill off the small bucks". Antler restrictions have been successful in other states, so why not here? We have very liberal antlerless limits for those who are interested in meat or numbers, so why not increase the odds for those who are interested in harvesting a real trophy? I believe thatminimum antler size to protect our young bucksis an idea whose time has come for Virginia.
