re: What state imposed deer limit would you find acceptable?

There are problems with any antler restrictions.Point and width restrictions lead to high-grading.An outstanding yearling or 2 1/2 year old with 8 points and 13 in. spread is legal while a 5 1/2 year old 4 pt with 12 in. spread is left to breed.I killed a 2 1/2 year old buck with 9 points and 16 in.spread few years ago,no doubt he would been outstanding deer with another 2-3 years.
The best way is to age a buck by his body structure but where I hunt bucks don’t stand around in open,turning this way and that so I can figure out how old he is like they do on hunting shows.In Louisiana it’s usually thick with shooting lanes and high lines,I typically have about 10 seconds to get my crosshairs on a buck and shoot before they get across.
With the drop in sale of hunting licenses,I don’t know that making it harder to kill a buck is the best way to go.It’s hard to get kids interested in hunting these days with video games distracting them.If a kid is interested,are they going to stay interested if they see a buck and can’t shoot because it doesn’t have enough points or wide enough.
Another issue,the states with the most restrictions and high populations also have the highest number of automobiles hitting deer.That doesn’t seem the best use of the resource,not to mention the people injured and killed.
