[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 2835239, member: 5412"] No, period. As the older hunters mentor the new young hunters, the age class of bucks being shot has really increased in recent years. I've seen it time after time on this very forum that folks have said their young hunters passed on small bucks because their parents taught them that passing on small bucks will produce big bucks down the road. [B]I'd rather see education take the place of regulation[/B], and it appears to be happening. Having a state with monster bucks doesn't always come from passing on smaller bucks. Genetics and habitat is what determines the size of a bucks antlers. We have places in Ok where a deer at full maturity will NEVER exceed 130 B&C points for the rack. We have others where bucks will reach close to that 130 and more in their second year, and be real brutes by their 4th. [/QUOTE]
