re: Do you think they should incorporate antler limits in La.?

Several of those out there If your past the bean fields I figure its either one of two camps.

I didn't kill anything till January. They had some 160s killed around platenberg supposedly

Is it the Cobb's camp?

these discussions are always interesting. I think I could have a good time drinking with most folks on this board. deer hunting with them may be a different story.

My property is in MS. so the LA regs arent that important to me. I would, however, like my home state (and ms for that matter) to have bigger deer. I'm all for kids and first timers getting to shoot any buck they want. There is nothing better. I just am of the opinion that letting small bucks walk and shooting mature deer is the way to go.



I know everyone has different situations(public land, bad neighbors, strictly meat hunter, love shooting spikes, etc..) but if some regs were passed(and people followed them) and everyone we're seeing and shooting better deer....that seems like a good thing.





and now my avatar is whacked? been having it for 2 years.

If there was some sort of regs that worked to improve deer numbers and quality I'd be all for it. I haven't shot anything under a 6pt in 20 years so no big deal there.

As stated before I'd like to see the numbers of deer killed reduced first

You avatar was probably "too big" they got mine a few weeks ago. frickers

youre right. got it fixed now. They must really be watching the OB hard.

Why should we reduce the number of deer killed?

I know but I'm not reading your post, clicking on the thingy, reading his whole post, and then replying to that one. I'm on limited battery life here man

Do you think a larger antler restriction would help with that?

As in?

6pt or better? Is it better to kill a yearling 6 or a yearling fork horned 4pt?

8pt or better? I'd personally rather a 2 year old 8pt breeding a doe than a 2yr old 6 but if both chase the same doe the 8 gets shot. So basically you wind up with the prefered bucks dead and less quality living.

I'd hate to see spread used because some places just don't have the width genetics.

Another view is that if its 6pt or better then every spike and 4pt that would have been killed survives another year. (Would love to know how many are killed each year). Only problem is, bucks don't have babies. People need to quit shooting every doe they see because TV said they need a 1:1 ratio but have no fricking clue what their herd numbers actually are.

States are simply too big to have one set of regulations to rule all.

Marsh deer, our swamp deer, and tensas bruisers are way to different as are the methods of hunting them.


I'm a fan of management, but I see no law that will benefit all areas of the state.
