I just don't know how you execute that kind of plan on a large scale. Antler restriction may be the best realistic plan.
The answer is YOU don't. If what your doing is working for you and your happy, then why are you worried about the way anyone else wants to hunt?
Go,... hunt,... be happy....
But just for giggles lets say, hypothetically, that 8 points or better is the magic number. I guess it's acceptable to risk letting folks high grade any 1.5 to 2.5 years old 8 point bucks ,
that could actually be carrying the genetics to produce what your after, so long as they are restricted from shooting those ("sub par"~sarc~) 6 pointers that could be 4.5+ year old breeders.
