[QUOTE="Oklahomabassin, post: 823550, member: 1546"] You are right an 8 point 1.5 year old is not the norm, but these 1.5 year old deer with good racks are more likely to produce a wall hanger at a mature age than a spike or fork horn at 1.5 years of age. [URL="http://www.tpwd.state.tx.us/huntwild/wild/game_management/deer/antlers_inherited/"] 4 year study of 104 whitetail bucks [/URL] A definition of a cull buck or a trophy is going to differ greatly with hunters. But I believe the antler point restriction is the wrong way to go about managing the deer herd. I will say that it would be easier than trying to get hunters to correctly age deer on the hoof and to use that as a restriction. It is much easier for many to count 6 points than to correctly age a mature deer. [/QUOTE]
