RE: Antler Restrictions
Ihave to disagree with this for all of the reasons stated by others and the fact that many hunters, regardless of the liberal quotas on Does, refuse to take a Doe. The Deer population here in Georgia is huge and we are allowed 10 Does and 2 Bucks. This in addition to those you may take on managed hunts. The recent restrictions being enforced here are that one of the bucks must be four points or better on one side. I would like to see the buck regulations set so that you must harvest at least one Doe before you can take a Buck. If hunting is going to survive and we use the reasoning that hunting is a management tool, then we must begin to take the Does we are allowed to control that population. Buck only hunting has its place, but it is not in areas where population control is a factor.
