I understand what you are saying but imagine the trophy animals that would be taken if EVERYONE practiced alittle restraint. The potentials would be much greater and we would see more bucks in the woods. There will always be poaching and lawbreaking from low-lifes but AR are worth a try. If everyone has to play by the "antler Restriction" rules then hunters that illegally take smaller buck probably will be more apt to get arrested. Why, because hunters that are obeying the law will get pi@* and call them in. This very thing happened last year in 3J wmu. It's worth a try and I'm already doing it, why could we all? Hasn't cost me more money, licenses go up every other year. So what if it costs the state more. I love to hunt deer and it's worth it to me.
