I'd be in favor of a point restriction. We lease property and we only take more mature bucks. We actually killed 3 does and only one buck so far this year. I personally passed up around 20 different bucks this season. I did see 3 shooter bucks, but none gave me an opportunity with my bow. If we want meat for the freezer, we shoot does. It wouldn't hurt my feelings to see a point restriction of 4 on one side enacted for the state. There is alot of public ground that gets hit pretty hard around my home and I'd love to see less small bucks taken off of it.

On the other hand, I don't think I'd be in favor of an earn a buck policy. Many times, I don't shoot does till close to the end of the season. In my area, I want all the does I can untill after the rut winds down to increase the possibility of bucks coming in to check them. I don't want to kill the doe that I've been seeing regularly from my stand incase she may have come in and brought that buck right by me. I don't want to have to feel as though I have to kill the doe first. I don't know though, it may throw the herd ratioout of whack. Not that it isn't already out of whack in my area.[:'(]
