[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 2412020, member: 5412"] Your lease is in Mexico. Here is why the antler restriction is so contentious. Some want nothing but a head on the wall and others want a nice buck and meat for the freezer. I don't fault either camp for their beliefs. I don't think the minority of head hunters should control the majority of meat hunters. That being said, and I've said it before, a mature buck that field dressed 180 lbs has a whole lot more meat than a fork horn that weighs 80 lbs. That alone should drive "meat hunters" to let the little bucks walk and take a bigger buck. I actually think that is happening. In fact I know it has because the average antler size is increasing in Okla. The ODW has put out reports that prove it. Its an education process that does not need some additional legislation to make it happen for minority interests. [/QUOTE]
