[QUOTE="CliffordN, post: 5815075, member: 22600"] I agree that almost all antler restrictions can be counter productive, leading to high grading younger age classes, or protecting older bucks with inferior antlers. But, thinking that culling can help is mostly a fantasy as well. Teaching folks to slow down and take time to attempt aging deer on the hoof would be a much better plan. Shoot first, then look at what you got, is more the norm in most places... I really don't care that much about what anyone else shoots, unless it is on a place that I am hunting. When it gets to be work and not fun, I lose interest... I told the guys that hunted with me that certain deer which I have pics of were off limits, that specific deer were shooters, and that anything with less than 8 points and under 3.5 probably needed to walk, and that we should only shoot a very small number of does this year. And we had a good time, even though we didn't shoot much. In these open hardwoods, we were able to watch bucks for long enough to decide shooter, or not. No running deer/quick decision stuff, which is when mistakes get made. I prefer shoot what makes you happy, and make sure your group is on the same page as a plan... [/QUOTE]
