RE: Sullivan county 10pt
We've had antler restrictions in PA since 2002. We're starting to see 120-150 bucks a lot now. It took a few years. Are you guys popping does, too? A lot of PA guys hate the reduction of the herd, but I think it helps the bucks to flourish.
In the rut, if I see a deer, I'm surprised if it's a doe. I also only see about 1 spike a year. It's crazy. I actually rattled in two 8-pointers this year. We saw two 10 pointers spotting and actually saw a legit booner about a month ago. I think the restrictions might work.
