Welcome aboard

I also emailed them waiting on their response.

Pancake face killer of waffles.

I did a little research, emailed a few friends and relatives in other states (just recieved one back from a cousin) that has this system and they all said it was tough in the beginning but it is great now. I did ask them about the poaching and they said it did increase but slacked off as time went on. So I voted yes!

I guess the only way to ever know is put a restriction on points try it for 5 years or so and see what happens.

I am not talking about people who ride around in there mobile deer stands but people who hunt on their own land, I think some people will still shoot the same kind of deer that they had been before the (if it happens) point restriction. If so it will still hurt the people who own land beside them and who try and manage and obey the law.

Thank goodness, don't want your partner being mad at you .

I do think it would lead to more poaching if there is an antler restriction. May not last for long but thats also something to consider. What are the poaching stats for states that have antler restrictions. Note I do not condone poaching I think if you do it you are scum.

Of course I will always follow the law, I am just pointing out the side of things. I have friends who hunt just for meat and I don't think they are dumb. Just speaking for them. I agree it would help out, like I told GunTroll just throwing out my opinion and arguing the other side of it. I am trying to look at it from both sides.

I merged the threads because they both discuss the same topic.

The thing is some people are meat hunters, I know you are going to say well they can kill a doe but thats the way some people hunt and it will never change. People have been killing deer of all sizes for a long time and doesn't seem to slow them down any and there are still decent to big bucks out there.

Man i'm hungry now!

Yes and I love them, especially when they take a bath in maple pancake syrup.

Are they dumb because you don't agree with how they hunt? Just because you have your way and someone else has there doesn't mean that they are dumb.

Not really sure what the buck to doe ratios are here in Middle TN.

Your right the TWRA has to step in with a better attack plan but I am still not against nor for the antler restrictions, I would have to do more research to come up with my own conclusion.

Albino mule deer

I have only ever seen 1 piebald in my life and several albino deer.

I think injured deer or mature bucks with small racks should be taken first, that would for sure help out the herds. Your right different people have different views and we know the TWRA does.

I like strippers.....sorry I need to be correct "dancers".

Your chicken egg looks like it was crossed between a chicken and human. Looks like a deformed arm. Explain that one

Well I think a lot to do with "bad racks" is what kind of food source they have. I would say a full mature buck would be more around 4 to 4 1/2 years old.

I think Mason there are a couple of states that do this.

These days I try to take good deer but it doesn't have to be a monster. Most places I hunt don't have a lot of "big bucks" but it has descent size bucks 6 to 8 pointers. I love deer meat (best thing since sliced bread) so I usually don't pass on good bucks. Mason you are correct no matter how long you boil the antlers you still can't eat them, thats why I take my share of slick heads.

Now that was funny 10Kilr.
