APRs [antler point restrictions] are a good example,” said Winand, who attended grad school at West Virginia University with Gary Alt, father of Pennsylvania’s deer management plan.

“Any 2-year-old [buck] will have a 15-inch inside spread. We know that,” he said. “We could save almost 99 percent of the 1½-year-old deer by setting a 15-inch minimum inside spread.

“But Gary was right in promoting the APRs — three or four points on one side — instead, because there was no way he was going to get the 15-inch rule passed.”
