Legal/non-legal bucks ...

[tdwinklr]

Am sure this question has been posed before here but here it is again, for a different reason.
This year on my place, there are numerous young bucks running around that were not there before,
several are fork-horns on one side with either no antler or a single antler on the other.

- Should these be culled or wait and see if they improve next year?

- If culling is necessary, are the fork-horn bucks with NO antler on the other side legal or not legal?
Any wardens input also greatly appreciated.

Leave them alone. Just babies

Yep, they're babies. We have 5+ of these 1/2 rack, ratchet head babies running around each year, and I've never seen a 3+ year old on our place with only one side. They'll grow out of it, just let them go.

that's good to know. Sounds like several decent bucks in my future then, as long as they return.
