Not a big fan of antler restrictions, but filled out the survey just for the cause.

Please post the results of this survey when known! Thanks BTW...I believe under the current regs (OBR) we have killed 2 World Record Deer in the last 10 years in this state. Huff Buck(crossbow)& Beck Deer(shotgun) That’s nothing to sneeze at IMO |

Love the survey I think Obr is more effective it gives the trophy hunters a reason to pass on smaller bucks and freezer fillers a chance at getting a world record.

I'm assuming that you consider a point to be at least 1" long to be considered a point.
When the question was asked about if you were a fan of antler restrictions if that allowed you to harvest more than one buck, I think the next 2-4 questions should be how many bucks were people interested in harvesting?

The current rule says at least one antler must be 3" long to be considered "antlered". In my opinion, 1" would be much too difficult to discern from any reasonable distance. |

Huff Buck(crossbow)& Beck Deer(shotgun) That’s nothing to sneeze at IMO Agree. HBB, P&Y and B&C entries all show big increases since introduction of OBR. Strong supporter when introduced and still am today. Still plenty of additional opportunities via reduction zones, park hunts and military and refuge hunts. |

I completed the survey. I am against the antler restrction. There are too many variables for everyone that hunts and we all have different agendas and reasoning. I do not like any more restrcitions on people. They should be allowed to shoot whatever makes them happy.

I completed survey. Like most antler restrictions have been proven as a ineffective tool for deer mgt., that said I firmly believe private property owners should be allowed to mgt. properties to their liking within general guidelines set by state such as seasons and limits, etc. PUBLIC LANDS in Indiana however IMO ARE NOT managed very well as compared to neighboring states, that can be said of our state owned fisheries as well.

APRs will high grade the herd. Indiana has a lot of yearling 8 pointers that would die under a 4 to a side rule. These are the bucks that have the most potential. Meanwhile we are passing scrub bucks who more than likely not amount to anything antler wise. A 4 to a side rule would let this buck keep right on producing more 3 X 3s. I don’t know of too many deer hunters who would pass this buck ..unless they had to.  |

The current rule says at least one antler must be 3" long to be considered "antlered". In my opinion, 1" would be much too difficult to discern from any reasonable distance. When Dad was hunting in Wisconsin, they changed the rule from a spike buck to a buck that had minimum forked antlers, and one criteria was that the antler fork had to be at least 1" long. That year everybody ditched the iron sights for scopes. THEN a few years after that my cousin had a mild panic attack after shooting his deer. When the deer hit the ground, one antler came off. So they had to do a lot of searching in the 12"+ snow to find it and when they grabbed the deer to drag it out of the woods the other side popped off in his hand. Antlerless were illegal to shoot, AND you had to take it to the check station to get the metal tag. The CO was called when they showed up and luckily the CO fitted the antlers back and felt them line up with the skull or he'd have been in deep doo-doo. |

I wonder how many deer were left in the woods to rot when they didn't quite measure up?
