It is most definitely a whitetail paradise.

Deer are food, not art.

More deer = more enjoyable experience while deer hunting.
I’ve never looked at MO regs: Antler restrictions in certain counties, they allow 2 bucks, both with bow but only one with rifle statewide, and 4 does per county with no maximum on doe kill. Not a bad idea (on the does) as permits are sold by the deer so kill can be reasonably measured.

If they want to shoot 3 points and cant, and you want to shoot 140" bucks and cant, how does the one regulating the other out of business not do precisely that?
There's no loss of deer.

Only one buck per year in Kansas, resident or not.

Fair enough. Illinois and Kansas's websites were horrible. I gave up after a few minutes looking. I would not be upset decreasing the max number of bucks per year in LA from 3 to 2.
ETA: That is still not an antler restriction though. I'd much rather see people taking out a couple of 3-5 year old does, than three 1-2 year old bucks.

That makes no sense. Yalls argument is just tell the spike shooter to shoot does instead.
If the spike shooter tells the trophy hunters to shoot spikes instead, who's wrong? How do you determine that?
And not to mention, some people have doe days and if they have to work for all of them, they cant kill a doe. What about those guys?
This whole people blasting everything complaint seems to come from public land people, a completely different discussion, and people who hunt small timber leases.

Folks can do whatever the law allows, but it sure is a much more enjoyable deer hunting experience when there’s mature bucks in your woods.

So the majority of hunters?
It’s not much of a discussion in high dollar leases because people don’t pay top dollar to roll a bunch of 2 year old deer. So I’m not sure what you’re really discussing.

Antler restrictions across a state or parish is a bad idea.
Shame this post will get buried in the bickering. Y’all can argue about the philosophical merits of antler restrictions all you want, it has been demonstrated over and over that they simply don’t work in any practical sense.

That regulating chunks of the state so peoples shitty 40 acre pine farm lease can "shoot more mature deer" is stupid.
Public land - different story. Having opportunity areas and trophy areas makes good sense.

I am not sure that I understand? Why only one with a rifle?

Yes, we have enough WMA with good habitat that they should be managed for mature bucks.
I also think it wouldn't hurt to replicate MS regs in a lot of LA. A large swath is MS has the same shitty habitat that a lot of LA has but they still have better deer hunting in those area.
For simplicity, everything north of 10 or 10 and 12 after the split would benefit from a similar system to what MS has.

This right here. If people want older bucks, just don’t shoot young ones. Don’t force others to play by your arbitrary rules. As long as it’s not a fawn and makes you happy or meets your management objective shoot it. State deer regulations needs to be based 100% on deer density for habitat not antler not size.

Area 1 needs more doe tags!!!

Lol whos gonna stop the coonasses from shooting a dozen button bucks to "feed muh family"

quote:Of course it does. No one is telling you to not shoot bucks. You just don't shoot young ones. There's no net loss of bucks. This isn't hard
That makes no sense
If you shoot young ones, there's fewer to age. So, no, the sides are not the same.

Those people don't care what the law says, they're going to shoot what they're going to shoot, pull off the backstraps and probably the hind quarters if they have room in the freezer. Then they'll leave the rest for the ants, buzzards, and coyotes cause they gotta eat too. They'll forget about it in the bottom of a chest freezer and throw it away in 2-3 years.
Doe days, antler restrictions, legal shooting time, and seasons are just suggestions, even though there's enough wild hogs to feed the entire homeless population on the West Coast
