ARs

They're gonna work, They're gonna work, They're gonna work, They're gonna work

Mine work great!

I love antler restrictions they have done wonders for east texas

And I'm not being sarcastic either

What is your point with these pics ? Young deer that need to grow up is exactly what ARs are for !! Do you really want shoot these lil guys? People like you are the reason the TPWD has to be babysit!

Looks like you need to feed more protein.

Maybe he is saying they are going to work and all those little bucks will make it another year

They will.

Lighten up buttercup.
Folks like you need to know when I'm not being serious. The " "
under my statement shoulda told you that.
Besides, there's a good chance that one buck's antlers might never get wide enough.
But if they don't, they don't.
So for all you AR lovers who whine about me whining, here's one (he's on the left ) that I'm sure is alive due
to ARs. He dropped by one night in 2 weeks worth of pictures
to get his picture taken. Hopefully he's up to your standards.
Be happy.

Curly, I developed some time lapse deer aging software and am currently running your deer through the process. I should have a good photo simulation of what they will look like once they are fully mature. IT will take a little while, but should be worth it

That's a nice buck Curly. I hope he shows up for you while your hunting.

I don't want to go into all the calculations as it's very elaborate and complicated... but if this deer is allowed to age properly, this is what you can expect in 5 to 6 years. PM me if you want a copy for your house... 3"x5" pricing starts at $475

He is still pretty young but if you like him and prefer buck meat over doe meat then . Good luck getting him. Hell the meat may actually be pretty dang good him still being milk fed and all.

Oh don't worry Booner. If we still have doe permits by the time I see a doe, I'll shoot one.
Thanks for giving me permission to shoot that buck if I see it though
seeing how the TP&W gave me permission as well.
I guess he isn't up to your standards though.
If I see him and shoot him, I just hope it doesn't mess up your deer herd.

Lighten up Curls I was only kidding. The should have told you that

It's all good fella's. I think we would all like to be at the lease right now, that is all.

Nope. Not until after my afternoon nap.

Man - all I have seen all stinking year are Hill Country Trophies. Little baby 8s and 1 7-point that probably needs another year before he's ready.

I was going to post that I'm envious what everyone gets to choose from. Glad I didn't!

Curly you & I should have learned by now that >13" spreads always taste much better than <13" spreads Why not ban anything over 13" for 5 years ? Would sure keep wider spreads in the gene pool longer...'course the state would lose $$$$ (fewer out of state licenses sold possibly ?)...

Meat hunters could live with that idea for 5 years.
Might upset some trophy hunters though, I meant management hunters.
And as far as the state losing money, antler restrictions aren't about money at all.
And you're right Erathkid.
I would MUCH rather be at the deer lease today no matter what kind of deer I'm seeing or not seeing!

I'm just surprised that wildgame camera is still taking pic's! I've always heard they distort the antlers on mature deer!

Shoot them right between the eyes it will make the spread larger.
