Well I will say that I do not agree with the AR rules. I think a person deer hunting and having a good time or a kid out for his first deer should be able to shoot whatever they want to shoot.. (or any persons first buck, young guy or gal or a kid hunting outside the youth season) What people need to do is teach better QDM from the get go. QDM takes a whole lot more than just not shooting smaller bucks (different topic).. Not to mention that it's possible to begin breeding bad genetics. Wouldn't it be funny to start seeing a property full of 5 and 6 year old fork horns and 6 pointers. Several reasons I don't agree with it. Just another rule to limit what you can do while hunting, should be personal choice. # of points just isn't the answer.

Plus.. I know there are many factors such as nutritionbut if it's about bigger racks and trying to have big bucks like IL let me say that in IL you can take 2 bucks a year and there are no antler restrictions yet they continue to produce very large deer. (yes slug guns only, I know) There are some big deer out of MO already, I mean they are nestled between IL, IA and KS.. Maybe it will help but I still don't totally agree with it. I think they need to get poaching under control in MO more than antler restrictions. Just my opinion though..
