Antler restriction

Postby 4-EYED GADWALL » Mon Oct 25, 2010 12:57 pm

I have been bow hunting for 22 yrs and I know an old deer when I see one.

this weekend I had three bucks come by 2 small 8pts (2 yr olds) and one deer with what looked like 2 big salad spoons on his head.(basicly a spike)
the spoon headed deer had a big pot belly and was a least 60 lbs bigger than the 2 8 pts.

My question is: would there be any forgivness for getting this deer out of my herd?

I don't want this deer breeding anything.

I'd give you the green light. Maybe you could turn the antlers into, as you say salaad spoons, for your camp. :lol: :lol:

If I'm not misreading the regs, there isn't a point restriction anymore. Zones 1 and 2 have a minimum inside spread of 10 inches OR a minimum main beam length of 13 inches on one side. Zone 3 has a minimum inside spread of 12 inches OR a minimum main beam length of 15 inches on one side. Sounds to me like if he meets either of those requirements he's legal. I see plenty of spikes in my neck of the woods that would fall into those categories.

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.
