I am a big suporter of antler restrictions here in Illinois.Our buck to doe ratio is off BAD.I would love to see a legal buck have 4 points on one side with the execption of youth hunters(under 16).I will only shoot mature deer width of rack past his ears,and main beam to the end of his nose,and at least 130". With all of the does here I see no reason to shoot a small buck,but there are the guys out there that "get their buck every year" even if it's a spike.So yes there are years that I don't kill a buck but do kill several does.
But last year I comitted a sin.
With a new baby in the house so bow hunting was limited,we where moving into a new house,and duck season on the way,I shot a small 7 pointer on the last day of the first gun season.I did kill a doe too and would have shot another but shooting light was fading fast.I made a decision and I regret it.
