I read in the woods n water magazine about some states that instituted a 1 buck per year policy and it was working. I don't remember which state it was but the results were very good. It would really make you wait for that nice buck instead of shooting the scrawny ones. We need to do something here in Michigan. I mean you can't eat the antlers anyways so why shoot a 1 1/2 year old buck? And you sure wouldn't mount a buck that small either.:elk
