NOPE NOPE AND NOPE!!!
I'm in Meriwether County where there is an antler restriction of a minimum of 4 pts on one side. This typically is a 2.5 - 3.5 yr old 8 point.
The antler restrictions are in place because hunters don't have the self restraint NOT to shoot 6 pointers! If you hunt on my property I have a 10 pt minimum. I will let my 9 year old son shoot an 8pt but NOTHING smaller.
Some of these 6pt bucks you guys have posted are HUGE! I wonder what they would have looked like a year or two later?
That's how my nephew shot this 12 pt last year.
Would you rather shoot a 6 point EVERY year or an 8 or 10 maybe a 12 point every 2-3 yrs?
Most of the time when a 6 pt gets as big as some of these, that's all they will ever be. So pointing the finger & saying what you've said is ludicrous. You have your standards & so does everyone else, why pass judgement on them for their own decisions. Shame on you as a hunter to do so. To anyone who wants to shoot a 6 pt regardless of how his head gear grows by all means you shoot what makes you happy. Now I judge maturity by body bc his head gear may not be up to par for his present time in his life.
