Antler restriction on public land in WV...

There will be quite a few thousand acres set aside this year in West Virginia for antler restriction. 14" minimum outside spread and doe harvesting will be cut back in a lot of counties. I live close enough to hunt one of the Wildlife Management Areas and these rules go for bow, rifle and smoke pole.

Glad to see it happen.....:)

how are they expecting people to measure the outside spread on a deer before they shoot it? Your going to have a LOT of abandoned deer. Also how will people know if they are in a dpecial area or not.

For this to even be considered they need to make it all or nothing.

And doesn't West Virginia have unlimited tags? How are they going to cut down on it?
