    Back in PA they had a 3pt or 4pt per side rule depending on your county. Guys still complain and whine against it. Some want no rule, some want a spread rule instead. But junior (under 16), seniors, disabled, and active military can shoot anything with antlers 3" or longer.

    I haven't had the chance to hunt in the two years I have lived here in TX because my health has been awful the whole time. But I am fine with the 13" rule.

      Give kids a license with one tag then?

        There will be complainers no matter what. Most are the ones calling themselves "meat" hunters only to pass many does to shoot a 2 year old buck.

          The problem with that is that in a lot of AR counties does are not legal.
          I see we may be getting 4 doe days in Washington County, we need it.
          My property is covered up with does. We have been a AR county for some time and at least where I am, every once in a while you hear of someone getting a big one but, we almost never see a legal buck.

              HA! Yep, that cracks me up too. That's the same guy that says, "Can't eat them horns".

                We can only shoot does until Thanksgiving. I work shift work so my kids missed the first 2 weeks of season.. I would rather kill does myself than a small buck. But I would like to be able to kill does the entire season. It's nothing to see 8 to 10 does to 1 buck. Ar rules have helped. But I have seen several deer that were well over 200 lbs with tall narrow racks.. they would probably be barely legal if a person wanted to risk it.

                Not everyone hunts horns and believes every deer needs to be 7 years old to shoot just like a lot of people dont give a crap about catching 30 inch trout..theres a place for both kinds of people and neither are wrong.
