Will you Quit?

[CuseHunter]

I'm not for an AR, but if it passes I'll follow it and hope others do too. One buck a year I am against as well. I would hate to take a 8pt buck in bow season (one I'm happy with taking) then have to pass up a monster I see later in the season. It's not my hunting style, I'd like the added meat to the freezer and not have all that stress of watching a bruiser walk under my stand while I know I can't take a shot. You can count me out to waste my time, effort, and gas money to go to the DECs show n tell to check in my deer. That's where I draw the line.

Well, here's a thought. Supposing a guy gets a buck during bow season. Is he likely to pass on gun season completely because he has no chance of getting a gun buck? Might he not harvest does that might have otherwise been taken during his gun season had he been lured out there with a possibility of taking a buck? I don't know, I'm just posing questions of potential unintended consequences of a one buck rule. personally I am in favor of it, but it does raise a few questions.

I think people who are likely to shoot does will still go whether they have a buck tag or not.  People who won't bother going because all they have are doe tags probably wouldn't be shooting does regardless.

I will probably hang it up when I can no longer get out in the woods with my Blaze Orange Walker !

back in the day, you only had one tag, it was either sex during archery and buck only during the regular season and if you were lucky you got a party permit that was shared between 2-3 guys, I don't think that stopped anyone from hunting.........maybe a lot of guys have gotten spoiled by the multiple tags that have been given out in the past years.

I am not a fan of the one buck rule. As a general rule I shoot 1 buck a year anyway and then wait for bullwinkle. ..Rarely does BW come by, so most years I only shoot 1 buck anyway.lol... Especially up here with no dmps

. I would like to see better /increased penalties for not following the existing rules. I think this alone in many areas would make a difference.

Maybe 1 buck tag and an additional AR buck tag 4 point/side or better?
