RE: MS hunters!
I believe that this will be the second year for the new laws. Personally, I think it is a good idea. As I will only take 2 deer at most, and then for the venison. In my area, even an 8-10 point will still be a small rack. (I do not live in the delta.) Last year I passed on two four points, guestimated their weight at about 60 lbs. The limits are 3 bucks, 3 does, (one per day). Two additional does can be taken with a bow.
The state has a deer management program that will issue tags in certain circumstances, such as extreme imbalance, crop damage etc. They are not handed out indiscrimontory. The game commission will check out these requests.
As most of the hunters I know seem to be agreeable with the changes, as our doe population is out of balance, and this new regulation should help.
