Legal? Shoot?

Have you seen the number of large 2-points over here? The gene cops need to get them out of the pool before that's 75% of the herd.

It's my thread and I don't care if it gets sidetracked some....


Mature buck 2 points would be something I would be in favor of seeing harvested.  Can't say I like to see culls like this left to get all the ladies.

Shooter all day!!

Is a 2 point inferior in some way or is it only because hunters like bucks with lots of points that you'd like them out of the gene pool?

Mature 2 pts are inferior.  They can't be harvested and will remain "safe" to spread their inferior seed.

Honestly I think mule deer hunting needs to change. But that pesky manageme t is necessary.  Im not sure how much time youve spent in the basin area, but there a LOT of those big 2points out there. I belive we are selective breeding mule deer to have 2 points since they get hunted so hard, at least in that area. My sugestion is mostly to mix the genetic pool back up. Its  possible to do the same thing several different ways. But im always incli ed to give a special chance to kids first. You could also make archery 2 point or better. I dont think there a whole lot of archers that kill many deer over there. 2c

That point isnt 1/2" long its 12" long with a 2" point coming off of it.  The definition of a point is all antler points have to be 1" or longer measured from the longest side so which point is the main and which is the kicker from the main.  All i know is that one of the 2 is connected to the main beam!!  It would be interesting to send that pic to a lawyer with a copy of the regulations.

I shot a buck that had three little points like that coming off a big two point and my thinking was that one had to be at least an inch.  I was wrong.  The biggest was about 1/8 inch short.  I didn't hide it I didn't call my self in I just chalked it up to a lessoned learned. I could tell my hunting partner was dissappointed in me and that alone was punishment enough.

I shoot 0 points - it's all about the law.  If a 2 point was legal, I wouldn't think twice about taking it on a general tag.

nice two but let him walk

I say 2X3. Looks like a point off the back left side.
