4 point restriction meaning must have at least 4 points on one side.
This reminds me of some of the yahoos in my neck of the woods that "practice deer management". ......."We only shoot eight points or better"
Likely half of the 1.5 y/o bucks around here are 8 pts (might different in your locale). So, pass on the seemingly genetically inferior spikes and forks to shoot the better potential 1.5 y/o's.
I get the spirit of the restriction, I just see a lot of holes in it. And JDK's son's buck is another example - a hefty, mature buck that would have lived an entire life as a 6pt.

Couldn't agree more Scott. We ALWAYS use age first and foremost when determining whether to try and kill it or not. Lot's of people around this board would be the exception, but I'm betting the vast majority of hunters can't tell the difference between a 3 yr old and a 6 yr old.
Here's another old, old buck I helped a friend kill several days ago. He's at least 6.5, more likely 7.5 IMO.
It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

Regulation, not a thing I can do about it.
The last time that bear ate a lawyer he had the runs for 33 days!
Yep, and regulations don't dictate whether you shoot a 1.5 yr old as compared to a mature buck. Scott, I forgot how jealous I am of those whopper whitetails you've taken.....Shazaaam!

You posted a photo a few years (?) ago that might have been a Saskatchewan buck and likely member of the 300# club. Please repost a photo of that one if you will.

It's likely this one that I shot in Ontario. The surprising thing is he was a relatively young deer but was killed a week before rutting commenced and crash diet ensued.
