Did they add any counties this year or have things stabilized?
Anybody still opposed to them?

Are YOU opposed to them? I thought it was down to just Curly and me.

They didn't change any counties according to TPWD. At least it wasn't in the summary of changes.

If I send my neighbors a text and ask them to give me feedback on my lawn and plant rye into a giant dong pattern, I'm probably going to get some less than positive feedback. Same goes here.

I don't like them because of how I have heard them being enforced. I am in favor of managing the herd.

I think they suck! I've had to pass many mature deer that have narrow racks. Would've been nice to remove them from the herd.

They have helped out east tx. I could see it being tougher on the central tx hunters though. Those deer are on a hole nother body to antler size scale. Kinda like large mouth bass 10 pounds and - and florida bass 25 pounds and -.
Recently got a gym membership, strange folks! I like to show up the roid zombies with my full motion curls with the 55lb. bells. Not their cheater short stroked light weights. It's holarious.

Never been a fan of antler restrictions. I've always hunted for meat and really don't care how much bone is on a buck's head. A buck with a small rack or a narrow rack eats just as good as a buck that has a wide rack. I see no logical reason, other that trying to stroke one's ego, to be obsessed with racks of any size. But then, that's me and I don't expect everyone to agree with me on the matter.

= Historically accurate quotation You misquoted a great Kentuckian lawyer... His exact words were, "you may all go to ****, I'm going to Texas and will see you guys on the other side after an Alsup's burrito."
