[QUOTE="RidgeHunter, post: 968697, member: 4319"] Honestly I don't care what I have to do for the second tag, they could go to a 1 buck limit and I wouldn't care. I usually take 0-1 bucks a year anyway. Just don't mess with the first tag. My land with could not support that many does being killed off of it every year (limiting out on does for a second tag). We had a severe overpopulation in the 90's, but it is in check now. Between the poachers, locals, and neighbors making a dent on it, we kill about 6-8 does a year usually (we=legitamte hunters on the land). That is about right. 12-18 is too many for my 160 acres. I would quit after the first buck kill, try to shoot shoot a doe or 2 then call it a year. Just judging by the amount of deer you kill, your place is a little different than others. To be real blunt Dennis, look at the numbers. In 2008, Archery hunters killed [B][U]7,936 bucks in over 3 months of season[/U][/B]. Look how many gun hunters killed. [B][U] 39,081 in 16 days.[/U][/B] Who do you think is killing all the young bucks? Fix the gun season yearling buck slaughter, problem solved. Doesn't make much sense to make us bowhunters jump through hoops to get a chance at a buck tag when we damn sure aren't the ones hurting the buck survival rates.
