say your in your stand and a2 1/2 y.o.8 point with a 18 inch spread we'll say he scores 125walks by with this mature buck behind it 6 points, 18 wide real tall: which would you rather shoot? the 6, not because of the rack but because it is a mature deer right? but you cant. we are forced to shoot the immature buck instead.
No law is perfect. Bottom line: which senerio happens more? The one posted above, or a 1.5 year old six gets the smack down put on him cause he is legal cause you want to reduce the point restrictions. I have a 3 point restriction and i wish it was four. I monitor 200 acres nearly all year round with a truckload of game cameras and I only had one deer like you mentioned. ( a 3.5 year old six point last year)If he is the exception to the rule in order to getbetter deer than I am happy.
