RE: Antler Restrictions in Virginia
We have practiced antler restrictions onour propertyfor the past 5 years. Shoot any doe you want, but a buck must have 3 points on at least 1 side. And, if he is a small six, we usually let him walk too. What is frustrating, is that we only own 300 acres, and the small bucks that we let walk are often shot by the neighbors, some of whom have the audacity to build permanent stands facing into our property from 20 or 30 feet over the lines.
For antler restrictions to work, they must be mandated by the state of Virginia, as is done in other states.
