Depends on the objectives of who’s hunting. Using a minimum point restriction is about the worst way to manage a deer herd. It does nothing to protect any age class or antler size of deer. It always leads to high grading. It’s about the only way that I refuse to manage a place. You can use any number of other antler criteria to protect most deer in whatever age class you want protected, like minimum main beam or inside spread, and even minimum score, but the BEST way is an age based criteria. Sorry CNC. 😜

The problem is getting everyone to agree on the age to protect, and the age of individual deer. At the end of the day, be reasonable and have fun.
