When you only get drawn for that hunt once or twice a decade, who wants to use that opportunity to shoot a small buck?
I wouldn't.
Likewise, who would want to have a fully mature buck with a monster rack illegal just because he only grew 8 points? I mean, wouldn't most of today's hunters actually prefer a 150-class 8-pointer over a 150-class 10-pointer?
Seems to be an unnecessary restriction
there, in view of all other aspects about this only one weekend a year hunt, that's already even farther limited by being archery only.
Could such an unnecessary restriction actually do more harm than good, both in terms of hunter satisfaction and in terms of herd health?
