AR's are good for keeping beginners and weekend warriors with itchy trigger fingers honest for the most part. Outlaws will do what outlaws do. It does make it difficult to manage a herd by age though, especially for some herd managers who need to balance the age of the herd but have some narrow or bad genetics in deer that are mature and post prime. If AR's were really meant for age management they could set up a check stations for old narrow racked deer to be brought in and recorded so they can keep up with herd characteristics in the area. Even allow a processor to record the data. Like I said outlaws will do what outlaws do regardless of the law. I would be willing to log and send the data in myself if it meant I could get that mature management buck out of the herd. This wouldn't impact the population much but it could help with antler characteristics. We manage the does as well so that it's not only the bucks being taken out.


Sometimes it's hard being me! But somebody has to do it.

I still don't understand that regulation. Now if they want to protect the very young bucks while allowing hunters to take the more mature / less desirable ones, then alter the restriction to something like... 13" inside spread -or- 20" main beam length. I know it's much harder to judge on the hoof for beginners, but still.... I'm SO glad I'm not in a restricted county.


Ya in our county (Denton) we could not kill most of ranchmans culls. On our place we have a few narrow bucks like that that need culling!

On the other hand... without AR's in many of those counties you wouldn't even have the cull bucks to shoot if not for the restrictions. I understand some people had circumstances that were fine before them, but I believe for the overwhelming majority they have been a positive.


I would rather have smaller bag limits and shoot whatever deer made me happy. On the other hand I guess the ARs are to deer hunting what minimum length limits are to fishing. We follow the rules but I sure want to break them when I see one of our deer with messed up racks that just keep showing up year after year and are protected by the law.

Meat is meat, I think this mentality should be shared. If nothing else to see potential improvements in your herd. It would be nice to actually not have a cull to hunt one day.

Many of the AR counties were 1 deer counties already, cant get smaller than 1 deer bag limit and still shoot one.

This buck was on our hit list up here. Saw him the night before I took the young 4 pt, on the neighbor's. Since the season ended he has been all over by the ranch house.
A nice heavy, wide 2x3.

Now this is a thread I can get behind. I don't care about big deer anymore, it's all about culls.

Here's a different view of that axis. Had his skull fractured and healed with the pedicle almost 90 degrees offset. He did tape in at almost 36" wide.

We think this was a hybrid, but I didn't know enough about them at the time to check the glands.
