| In the state of Massachusetts they have not adopted an antler restriction so anything is legal over 3" of antler. I personally have a 6 point or better rule for myself but I'm viewed as a fool by most hunters here. I've taken only one buck since adopting this rule but he was a 154" gross 13 pointer and have passed up many smaller bucks. I fill my freezer with tasty does though!!! For me, in this area, a shooter buck would be something in the 100-120" range with a true trophy coming in around 140". |
