IMO antler point restrictions are the worst possible management tool. As difficult as points can be to count in a lot of hunting situations, I feel a lot of good deer would be passed due to uncertainty of whether or not it was a legal buck, as well as making game law violators out of those otherwise ethical hunters who make an honest mistake.

I don't see how you can use points as a deer management tool. Too easy to make a mistake, then the hunter has to leave it in the field for fear of being fined.

That would be the stupidest rule ever. A buddy of mine was hunting at a friends in Illinois 2 years ago. His friend had been seeing a 6 pointer that needed to be shot. My buddy really didn't want to "waste" his $325 tag on a 6 pointer but when this big boy came by......he changed his mind quickly! Would you shoot it?

I have a Buck roaming my property that has only one antler, as I saw him a couple years ago and again this past December. I shot a similar Buck back in 1997, on my property, and thought this was just a one time thing. Turns out this buck had the ability to breed, otherwise I shouldn't be seeing "Uniantlered" Deer!
