I have to agree whole-heartedly with Wooddust. The trophy hunters should be behind antler restrictions 100%. The county I hunt in back in Missouri is under the antler restriction. I think it's great. In three or four years, we are going to have some nice bucks, instead of the spindly 6-pointers that we have now (that is unless we have another flood).

Also, if I am correct, the youth hunts (at least in MO), do not have antler restrictions.

And finally, deer get smarter with age, so I don't think there are going to be stupid trophy bucks running around.
