I shot a 7pt the first morning. Saw 5 deer before 9:30. Shooting was very slow. I do think antler restrictions work. I am not in favor of all the doe being killed. One thing that gets me is I here a lot of hunters complaing about a lack of deer and then they shoot a couple because of all of the tags they got. You don't have to fill the tags, but this is one of the problems. Another problem is the buck we are hunting are a lot smarter then the the spikes we where shooting years ago. They are mostly nocturnal . Good luck the the rest and hope you get the big one.
