Antler restrictions IMO are not the answer even if the majority's goal was to grow big bucks. Implementing a real tag system that was enforceable, and reducing buck harvest, would be the best state wide answer IMO.

Now, I'm not saying that I'm all for that, I think 3 each is fine for most, I would like to see an enforceable means of tagging implemented.

As far as predators, People gripe about coyotes a lot, but I know places that are slap loaded with deer and have a lot of coyotes. Habitat and trigger control are the keys.
