CuseHunter Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 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.

Doc Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 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.

covert Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fasteddie Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 I will probably hang it up when I can no longer get out in the woods with my Blaze Orange Walker ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjb4900 Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 (edited) 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.

ncountry Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 (edited) 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? Edited December 19, 2013 by ncountry 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
