Lots of clubs have this rule. I agree with you but it's better than no rules or "4 point or better" or something like that. In LA, your chances of seeing an 8 point are a whole lot less than your chances of seeing say a 4 or 6 point. Texas is totally different management tactics. Cant compare TX and LA deer hunting. You see an 8 point every hunt in TX. Club I grew up hunting in was 8 point or better with a 16" minimum inside spread. I saw people get fined for shooting 15" inside spreads. Where I hunt now it is just a few of us. Rules are simple. If you shoot a buck you have to shoulder mount it.

In Texas they don't want 8 points. They want you to kill every 8 point you see. They consider them management bucks. They say that they never get bigger than an 8 point. I used to hunt in Laredo. Texans consider just about everything besides 10+ points a "cull" buck. I don't really agree with this logic I wouldn't shoot young 8s. I'm not going to shoot a buck unless I'm mounting it.
