Here in Idaho, there are sections of the state in which there are antler restrictions. In these areas you can only shoot a 2 pt.(eastern 4 pt.) on a regular deer tag. To get a larger deer. You must draw a special tag to shoot anything larger. This both allowed the meat hunters to get their deer, and trophy hunters to get their big buck. We have an abundance of public land so it didn't leave anyone out. The issue would be tricky with the way the land is back east. In the areas that this was done. The deer herds are very strong and there is an abundance of large bucks. There are mulie bucks that are ranging in the upper 30 in class. The rest of the state falls under normal rules , outside of a portion in the middle of the state set up to maintain the whitetail herds. I have noticed that in these normal areas that the average buck is a 2 pt. and there is a huge ratio of does. So as to your area, I don't think that it will pass unless you have a larger area of public land.
