No on the 3pt.
I would love 2 point or better on the westside but allowing spikes for youth and disabled.
I agree 100%.

Exactly how I feel about this.
By my honorable conduct as a hunter let me give a good example and teach new hunters principles of honor, so that each new generation can show respect for their god, other hunters and the animals, and enjoy the dignity of the hunt.

Calling an illegal alien an 'undocumented immigrant' is like calling a drug dealer an 'unlicensed pharmacist'.

It would be a great idea if the tribes weren't right there to shoot them when you let them go......but they will never go along with it so it kind of becomes like letting the wild salmon loose and only keeping hatchery fish....and then they net them all...............Les

I agree, he shouldn't let a difference of opinion deter him.

I voted no.  One-size-fits-all, rarely is the best local solution.  To quote someone I respect: "If the only tool in your toolbox is a hammer, you tend to view every problem as a nail."
As long as we have the habitat, we can argue forever about who gets to kill what and when.  No habitat = no game.

Now that's a good quote.

im really surprised to see all the yes votes? you guys should really look into the long term affects on deer and deer quality
No people will tamely surrender their Liberties, nor can any be easily subdued, when knowledge is diffused and Virtue is preserved. On the Contrary, when People are universally ignorant, and debauched in their Manners, they will sink under their own weight without the Aid of foreign Invaders.

Does anyone know the estimated buck/doe ratio for the east side areas right now?

I had a thought today while driving instead of saying 2pt or 3pt or better can the WDFW say 2pt "ONLY" say for those units that are normally 3pt or better and have lots of monster 2pt. This way only those genetic stunted 2pt are eliminated allowing others to grow and breed.
God Bless,

I voted no because on the island where I live, it is very rare to see a 3 point buck.  Sometimes we see a fork with brow tines but mostly the genetics are for forks.  The first buck I got in Muzzleloader season last year was 6 to 7 years old, fork with brow tines.  Of the 5 bucks my wife and I have gotten in the last 3 years, only one other had a single brow tine.

In response to "you can't eat the antlers", true but you get about 50% more meat from a two year old than a one year old and about double on a three year olsd than a one year old.

Over all, I would answer yes with some exceptions.
