Why not pass on it and let him come back next season with a full rack?

Because it's legal and delicious.
:yeah:

I just think it would make things a whole lot simpler if a it was limited on antler points on the opposite side of the spike.  I don't think killing a 1x6 is really the age class of bulls the game department has in mind for a spike area.

So like only a 1x3 could be killed? 
Seems like the number of 1x5, 1x6 or 1x7's killed each year is so minimal that we would be wasting time trying to split hairs. :twocents:

but here we are every year answering questions on is this bull legal or not.  I just think edge could come of with a better system on what's legal or not.
