Jimbo, the state has two different areas. One area is at least 3 points on one side and the other area is at least 4 pts on one side.And a point is defined as at least 1 inch This is saving bucks so they can mature,plus prevents the guy that just blast at any deer or sound then checks it out. I believe the system even has a side effect. It makes it safer for hunters. We must study the deer to make sure inturn giving the hunter a better chance to see any hunter that might be just behind the deer in the thicket
