It will be interesting to see how that turns out.

If the SC Senator just wants bigger bucks that he can shoot at while he is out hunting, then just put a size limit on the bucks that can be harvested.
Otherwise, such law changes seem to be for all the wrong reasons. IMO

I have to agree here with this, it sounds like the expectation is that folks will automatically pass on smaller bucks and wait for the mature ones, not convinced this would happen state wide.  Having a size/point limit, such as 4 to the side would seemingly accomplish the goal for more mature bucks. I have several friends down that way, they look for the big ones, but if it's brown it's down, and move on to the next, very liberal on harvest rates in S.C 
only have a few chain saws I'm not suppose to use, but will at times, one dog Dolly, pretty good dog, just not sure what for yet,  working on getting the gardening back in order, and kinda thinking on maybe a small bbq bizz,  thinking about it,

There's no shortage of deer in SC large and small, there's a shortage of selfless politicians in all sizes.  Those in government with the gall to call themselves servants of the people really, well you know where I was going.....

These new laws, whether a good deal or bad deal for he honest hunter......will not affect the Redneck law breaking hunter.
Working in the Forest, we come across so many dead Deer, carcasses of all kinds....knowing they were killed illegally.

   What kind of deer kills would be illegal? With no limit or even tags needed, how is there even a deer left in the state. I couldn't imagine eating that much venison in a year, or cleaning (gutting) that many deer. Predators must be the only thing missing in the crazy deer numbers in the south, because if California or Oregon had your seasons, they would be extinct in no time.
