Point restrictions typically lead to high grading. That’s exactly what happened in MS. About the only way to successfully implement ARs on a large scale is main beam or inside spread minimums. I don’t see that being done statewide.
That’s why at Martin we implemented meeting one of three criteria. The criteria as our norm by age class at 3.5.
Bucks had to meet one of these
3.5 yr or older
15 inch spread
20 inch main beam
It’s not perfect and did probably hurt some above average 2.5 yr olds but not everyone is willing or able to determine age class alone. It was the best we could come up with.
There’s an up oh buck now I here
A few of us wanted had to mount it criteria but the reality is the masses do not. They want horn
And if you don’t think size matters have a spike and a 10 point at the skinning shed and see where the crowd gathers.
