Well, What if you see a fully matured buck that is genetically inferior? such as a 5.5 year old 3x3 wont even break 80 inches?

100% for them, luv them, hope they never go away.
mez, all game laws regarding deer tell people what they can and cannot shoot and when. Antler restrictions are about the deer, without them here in PA it would be the same old slaughter of 1.5 year olds as it was in the past.

AR's are in place not for the guy looking for the next state record. Its about and should be about a healthy deer herd. Which as some states are experiencing a problem with. The one I know for sure is PA. The state I live in. Its not about telling someone what they can or cannot shoot, its about developing and controlling a deer herd, a healthy one at that, for the future, for all hunters. Look at it as a practice that will insure your grandchildren will have healthy deerpopulationto hunt.

i like antler restrictions, it allows the buck in most cases to not get shot because during the rut deer come running in and the hunter has to count 4 points on one side and sometimes the buck doesnt allow u the chance to do that so it lives another year

How does restricting which Bucks you can shoot but not restricting which Does you can shoot make for a healthier herd?

Bruce when we start shooting 70% 1.5 does, I bet we have some issues

in PA it has to have 3 points on one side for it to be legal I do believe.... thus making it a rare occourance but it could happen and then you have that buck knocking out a bunch of does, thus making more bucks it could get out of control fast but looking at it like that what if the buck dosent ever get noticed or killed and its bucks have little bucks that would make a whole area genetially inferior right? Its sorta a touchey subject.
