My dad is over 65 years old, just curious can he take any size buck legally or must he abide by antler restrictions? I looked at the PGC website but couldn't find the answer.

Not 100% sure BUT believe Juniors and Seniors do not have to follow antler restrictions.

He has to follow Ar. Only ones that dont are handicapped with a permit to use their vehicle as a blind. Jr' and active resident military personel..

Statewide, all junior
license holders,
mentored youth hunters,
disabled hunters with a permit
to use a vehicle and resident
active duty U.S. Armed
Services personnel will be able to
abide by the former antler restrictions
of one antler of three or
more inches in length or one
antler with at least two
points. Senior license
holders must abide
by antler restrictions.

Thanks guys. I believe my dad has a disabled hunter permit as well.

As a senior he can hunt with a rifle in the last 3 days of the early muzzleloading season, FOR does with an antlerless permit. this might have been what you were thinking.

Most of the "real" hunters I know think it is a great program......I know I do.

BTW most if not all of the seniors I know think it is a great program because it gives them an opportunity to shoot a decent buck rather than a spike or Y which is about all we saw before AR.
