Ok.. I am not clear on this. I hunt in Nassau county which would be DMU 6. The new rule is "antlered deer must now have at least three antler points (each point at least an inch long) on one side or have a main antler beam length of at least 10 inches to be legal to take." Does that mean if a 3 pointer steps out, I have to let him walk or does that mean that if a buck with only one antler has to have at least 3 points? Does that also mean that if a spike with say 11" spikes would be legal to harvest? If so, how am I going to keep him still to measure his antlers before I can shoot? Can someone clear this up for me.

yes 3 point 4 point might have to walk it needs to be 3 on one side 1/2 of a 6 or better
yes a long cow horn spike can be taken,\

well you need to judge before you shoot.

WOW.. That sucks! I am going to have to decide what I am going to do next season. I may not renew my lease and go back to hunting up in GA. Much easier up there 10 does, two bucks (one at least 4 pointer), a bear, 3 gobblers and all the hogs you like.
