I want to get an idea of how Hunttalk folks feel about antler point restrictions. The WY G&F commission voted yesterday to retain antler point restrictions in the Wyoming Range and Jackson area that were implemented after the 22/23 winter. The G&F Dept. recommended removing them in those areas.
My understanding is that these really only work for a couple of years and that they can impact trophy quality in the long run because you harvest a lot of 2.5 yr old 4 points that would be giants with a few more years, but you don't kill the 3.5 yr old 3 point that likely wouldn't get huge.

Curious of any opinions on the issue.
