well i am against antler ristrictions. i grew up hunting in the catskills with real sportsmen who enjoyed the family aspect of our sport,spending time togather doing what we chose to do our sport HUNTING. it is more than killing a huge buck, the outdoors, the special time in the woods among gods creatures and family. not the beefed up gotta shoot a big buck every year attitude. if that is what you are after then thats what you enjoy. we spend the same hard earned dollars for a licence that you do and i am not trying to tell you what you what to do or harvest. we cry that the youth is not getting involved and want special seasons and drop the age limit and then put hand cuffs on them. I am so tired of all the explotation of our sport and the money grabbing gotta have this gear or this scent to shoot a big buck. In the end we are hunting to get some fine table fare. So if a spike walks thru with 3" its my lucky day. As for button bucks antler restrictions are not going to save them not if they keep putting out DMP's. Lets educaite our future hunters on what a mature doe looks like to save the button buck! My grandfather Walter Cline would turn over in his grave at all this trash.
