I don't quite understand the question. What do you mean by "2 n 3"?

Did you mean to say 2 OR 3 point minimum?

[billythekidrock]

Yea, a bit confusing to me as well.

I would consider voting for a 2 pt min for modern if youth and seniors could shoot spikes. I would never go for a 3pt min with BTs.

If they made it 3pt min over there, you guys would see a lot bigger deer in a few years. As it is now every spike and forky gets shot up and no chance to grow. Who says blacktail don't get big?

[summit creek]

yes i ment do u want a 2 pt or 3 pt minimum

[summit creek]

buglebusters right 3 point all the way

[huntnphool]

 I would like to see them lift the 3 point min requirement in most of the east side units for a couple years then evaluate again. West side for the next three year set and then evaluate it.

 I think it initially helped the herds on the east side but should have been off again on again type system, but the units that were already 3 point min. should remain.

 I wish they would pull their heads out of their arses and come up with a youth 2 point tag that went through November.

y bad idea?

[summit creek]

i respect u 4 that

[lokidog]

2 point might be OK but I will fight tooth and nail against an across the entire westside 3 point min.  The reason being that only a small percentage of the bucks here (on Decatur Island) have brow tines, let alone more than a fork.  Maybe put a 3 or 4 inch minimum length on spikes since the ones with those little pencil sized ones can be pretty small.

I get the point but this will be my first year hunting. Ever. I live wetside so that is where I can scout. I'd rather not eat tag soup just because I'm not seasoned. Wife wants venison and that's all I care about. After a few seasons I'll be more selective, but I like having a choice to fill the freezer if possible.

I like this idea better then a point restriction. BT are the most elusive of all deer and its already hard enough, let alone putting restrictions on

If you want antler restrictions for BT hunt the Mashel unit......

I would love to see a 2 point minimum on the westside. Not only would the size of the deer increase, but it would give them more years of life to breed with the does, therefore causing the herd to grow in numbers. I would love to see this in the skookumchuck unit more than anything. I know some people will not agree with this theory, but i would love to see them close down the vail tree farm for modern for about 3 years and only allow 50 youth tags for rifle. Then after the 3 years, I would like to see them open up the farm again with a 2 point minimum. This would eliminate the spikes being harvested (other than poaching) and would allow for more deer to mature and breed more does. Now I am no biologist, but i believe this theory would work. Maybe not but i would like to see them try something like this. I love hunting vail because of the amount of land there is and its a fun place to hunt, but the quality of the deer has went down drastically over the past few years. Hopefully the Wdfw wil do something to change that in the future.
