I worked the election today and am late to the party. 8 point rule = STUPID IDEA , any real deer manager isn't gonna manage by number of points. If you are in the "if it's brown it's down" crowd well, it sure doesn't suit your needs. So who does it really help, a few misguided souls.
If I see a 6YO 6 pointer I sure as hell don't want the state telling me I can't shoot him.
