RE: Antler restrictions in Missouri - opinions
The problem I see with having two set of rules, one for the youth and one for adults is that you will see more smaller bucks taken by "youth" hunters,meaning adultschecking deer with their kids youth tag. What is wrong with youth abiding by the same rules as the adults. Would it not be better that the youth learn that rules should be followed by all? The youth can still enjoy and get excited by the hunt by taking a doe (if legal) as well. Especially if they know that they have a much better chance of seeing a big buck by having antler restrictions. I know that different people have different opinions and this is just my opinion.
