I want the Game Commission to explain to me how the bucks will get bigger when our healthy and good genetic 1-1/2 year old deer are 7 and 8 point bucks that get shot? And junior hunters can shot any size buck? So anyone with a junior hunter in their group is now shooting any buck and having the junior tag it. The only way to get big bucks is: 5 points a side (because this will keep all the 1-1/2 year old deer from being shot.) And don't let juniors shot anything. We also might need a few does around to have more deer to.
your comments on adults shooting ANY deer is true.
most of this is being done in crews driving deer with kids under 16from what i am hearing in field from other hunters.
they dont even look to see if it has 3 points on side.
its BROWN ITS DOWN WITH A KIDS TAG.
this must stop and the only way to stop it is the buck MUST HAVE 3 POINTS PER SIDE FOR ALL OF US, KIDS INCLUDED.
sad how we hunters use a good thing to ruin it and take advantage.
also if you think all those 7 year old kids shot that big buck in archery with bow, you better wake up.
i am mad as h at what i feel is happening ,overharvest of doe, kids tags being used to shoot ANY deer,using no tag with young kid so daddy can get another deer and not have to buy a license.
what a mess they opened up with that one.[:@]
