Yeah for this very reason Arkansas implemented the 3 point rule back in 93 or so. No adult can take a buck unless it has at least 3 points on one side. This at least helps the spikes and forks grow up some.... some folks will just shoot anything.. The nice thing about the rule is if your under 16 (youth) your first deer can be any kind of buck. After that first one though you have got to follow the rules like everyone else.
It's taking a long time but I think this rule is actually starting to help some. My last couple bucks were a nice 8 and a 10. And my 20 year old finally got him a nice 9 point. It's worth the wait!!1
