Was just talking to one of the guys in the States today who is one of the top mule deer researchers in NA. He's done the research on cougar control, coyote control, antler restrictions and his work is showing the biggest constraint is.......... HABITAT!!!!!!!!!!! It's funny, hunters have the most potential to increase mule deer populations yet are the biggest barrier all at the same time.
You can focus on making more deer or you can focus on making more hunting regulations.
I give.
Just give this this a reread and should answer your concerns on Antler restriction.
