[QUOTE="AT Hiker, post: 3923705, member: 10019"] I guess in my simple mind I cannot comprehend the antler restrictions having a negative effect, Im not doubting they do, I just dont get it. Lets say Im not a mature deer hunter, im like the majority of everyday hunters and just want to hunt and kill a buck. Im hunting where a 4 on one side rule is implemented. A 4xwhatever walks out, im likely to shoot it no matter his age. Then you have Mr Mature deer hunter in the next woodlot, if a 4x??? yearling walks out he is gonna give it a pass even if he wasnt hunting in a antler restriction area. Point is there are a lot more "everyday" hunters than there are "mr mature buck only" hunters. Unless the 9pt rule, spread, or some other rule that statistically rules out yearlings i just dont see the harm. I could see how a 3 on a side rule would open up the killing of more yearlings but a 8pt is a 8pt to most people, at least from the people i know. Not that it would ever work or pass but a rule that said, "you must pass up the first buck you see" would allow more hunters to kill older deer than anything imo.
