Welcome...thanks...yes still can shoot does for archery in the swamp...I tried for some hunts in areas that were already 3 point minimum on one side antler restrictions such as upper hills and Baird unit...because way the new restrictions are is 3 on one side or 10 in. Main beam and this applies to all the wmas...my thinkin is odds of getting a "shooter" in one of these areas will be better odds due to the 10 in. Main beam rule. For example season before last on a muzzleloader hunt in upper hills I had a nice 3 point (fork on one side spike on other) with pry 12 in. Main beams within 20 yds. But because of the 3 on one side this buck was not a " shooter" . With this 10 in. Main beam deal that buck would now be a shooter or like the spike I shot in green swamp had 10.5 in. Spikes he would still be a shooter under this new rule to my understanding. This year the FWC has made some great changes for us and I think because of these changes we will soon be seein more trophy class bucks comin outta all our public lands.
