[QUOTE="Parks 788, post: 3298145, member: 14646"] Nope! Everyone that hunts in the state of OK has an affect on the deer population. Some positive and some negative. So, how many hunters from TX are actually coming up to OK to hunt and where are these TX hunters actually hunting? Yeah, there may be some impact in some small areas of the state but you cant blame these TX or other out of state hunters for the ills of OK deer hunting in general nor should you punish NR hunters that may be hunting in the Northern part of the state. As soon as you bring in the antler restrictions debate into the equation and how that could positively affect the deer herd you essentially pointed out that Oklahoma (residents) hunters are the problem. For years, I've seen pics of locals during hunting season with grown men and women pictured with fork horns and other young bucks. Both recent and old pictures from years ago. Far more resident hunters are taking this type of deer than any NR hunters. You all threw a fit 10 years ago when the buck limit went from three deer to one deer. Hell, at this time, I'm all for a one buck limit. I only hunt rifle season anyways. Down the road i'll hunt two of the three seasons once I move. What I think makes the most sense at this time, if action is truly needed would be antler restrictions. Give it 10 years and with a total point minimum of 6 points or minimum of 4 points on a side if not symmetrical. Or, if people complain too much then if you allow two bucks in a season then you have a first buck minimum of 6 points then your second buck must be 8 points. If you are a meat hunter then shoot a couple of does. [/QUOTE]
