They did that here in Texas a few years back and lord the griping we did about it. It almost caused a revolution in the three counties that they did it in. Four years later and now we have bucks that my grandmother hasn't ever seen in her 80 or so years out there. In TX it is a rare case for a whitetail deer to live to see it's third birthday. It is why the bucks always were small.
Now I trust the biologist a lot more. I'm glad we had that regulation put on us before the rest of the state. I've got three bucks now with a 13" inside spread or better.
I also went from 3 doe permits to a max of 7 last year, so now we get more meat and bigger bucks. It's hard to argue results.
