Michigan antler restriction

[skeeter@ccia.com]

We went through that very restriction from Gary Alt a few years ago here in Pa. It was a hard sale for PGC. They did however change the law some and maybe this will even work in Michigan if the authorities are made aware of it. Those that require a 4 point on one antler restriction does make it hard to identify at times (brow tine) and yes we ended up with way too many 'illegal' bucks left laying in the woods. No matter what the laws, you will always have those that shoot then count. Now in Pa, we have to look for the '3 point up' to make it legal. Brow tine does not count as one of the up points. Another way I show guys to identify is what I call '2 windows'...... depends on how you want to call it.. 3 points up or look for the 2 windows made by the antlers before you shoot. This has been accepted by hunters now and it does give the deer a chance to grow some antlers. Some very inpressive ones at that. It all worked out for us here in Pa and I am sure it will there too. Most of us hid behing the same saying that we are not antler hunters but meat hunters.. believe me, you will see the light if you give it a few years to work for you. Enjoy the season...
