RE: antler restrictions, Your Fellings.
I hunt not only for the sport but also for the meat. Where I hunt we have whats called earn a Buck. You have to shoot a Doe before you can shoot a Buck W/3pts or Better on One side. This year I had some nice 6 & 8 pointers (one would have gone on the wall) under my tree browsing for a half hour. I couldn' t shoot cause I hadn' t taken my doe yet. I seen no less than 20 Different Bucks Before I finally got the Doe.it Took about 3 weeks and 3 days before the season changed from reg Bow season to Permit Bow season.No shooters for wed. thur.and fri. Then the season changed on Sat. and Here comes the Bucks But first I have to start over again and get the Doe first. Sometimes it just isn' t right.But thats Life.I talked this over with the game warden and he said this was to get hunters to shoot a doe first then the buck so the harvest would be 2 deer instead of just the 1 buck and stop. I told him I would be glad to harvest the Buck first and a doe latter for the 2 kill harvest and he said most hunters are just satisfied with the one deer.(Unlimited Does) I guess my appetite is bigger than theirs. Many of us Hunters complained about this to the Fish Game &Wildlife and he said there going to change the rules this year. We' ll See. Good Luck & Good Hunting
