if anything the points will increase to 4....but not this year.......this year like jimpic said brow tines must be an inch like all other tines and some areas are 4pt that wernt.....i was just looking figuring venango was 3pt last year it would be this year.....but i was wrong...they changed us to 4pt in most of hte county!! but they have the 4pt rule for a reason.....i dont see them letting off....only making it more strict for the rest of the counties if it comes down to that.........but this year theres 3pt and 4pt areas still....but they go by WMUs this year dont forget.......double check dont assume your still whatever from last year!
