Mark,
I understand about how you feel with the low turn out of hunters at these meetings. I'm sure you are aware that there are many other froms of communications used by hunters to express opinions to the FWC.

Mark, Not sure were your coming from here. I would like to see a three buck bag limit state wide depending on how its implemented.

On WMA's that are special quota hunts I would like to see a one buck limit per hunter/quota permit. I think in one of your other post you even stated that this works for Toso.

The point to all of this is that we have to limit our buck harvest some how. It's not about hunting big bucks or QDM. The 3pt rule is just another way to limit buck harvest. To me, the best option that I have seen is a 3 buck limit statewide rule which allows for only one spike buck. The other two could be 3pts on a side or a fork horn rule for the southern part of the state.

If you go with just a bag limit it will most likely be no more than 2 bucks. This kind of bag limit can end your hunting season early, if you get lucky. That's why I favor a larger bag limit with antler restrictions.

What's your suggestions?
