Here in Texas, we have an antler restriction of “13 inches or greater (difficult to accurately measure through a scope) or a buck with an unbranched antler.” Allegedly, 13 is outside of the ears, but that’s not reliable. Rediculous.
I was adventure riding up around Benizette PA three weeks ago. My friend came across a bull elk with a massive spred just standing alongside the road feeding on someones shrubbery. Would've hurt like hell if he'd hit him!
