Muzzy, If you did go with a 4 pt rule statewide what do you do about genetically inferior bucks. The guy on the land next to our lease shot a 6 pt that would have scored in the 120's and was proably 3.5 from the looks of him.Under your plan this guy would have to pass on this buck even though it might never get any more points and pass on these genes to the does in the area. This was a large bodied bodied buck that had 12 in. G1's,no brow tines. Proably weighed about 190-200 on the hoove. This deer can't be shot but a basket 8 pt that weighs 120 could be.
