[QUOTE="AllOut, post: 2411283, member: 12099"] I could type all day on "how if feel and what I think" about this. But I won't I'll make it short.... First, I'm a trophy hunter to the core. Unless it's for some sort of management purpose I WILL NOT shoot a buck if it's not going on my wall. Thats the first question I ask myself when I see a buck. "Is he worth mounting?" The answer has to be yes before I even pick up my bow or gun. Typically in Oklahoma, if I dint estimate it at 4.5 or older then it also gets a pass. Killing Does, I will if I feel like it. But typically won't deal with them til my buck tag is filled. Anyway, I'm all for a 1 buck limit. Honestly it's what I really want us to go to. That and getting rifle out of the rut! I think that would help a chit ton! Public or Private makes no difference, I agree Fishfurlife's comment on "it's a good public buck" bull chit. One if the dumbest sayings I hear. I hunt mainly private but do hunt some public and have seen some absolute monsters on public land. I have a few public spots that are better then most private land I've been on. As far as hunting pressure. A lot of private lands get pressured just as hard if not harder then some public. Not trying to be a dick or hurt someone's feelers.... But some people just need to learn how to hunt. As for some of the original questions. I think the over all deer herd in OK is great, we have a very good population. I think our only major issue is the age structure. We need to focus on getting the average age of our bucks up. I personally think the easiest way to do that would be the one buck limit and getting rifle out if the rut. Possibly ARs too but like I've stated before, I'm on the fence with that. "Earn a buck" might help with getting buck;doe ratio better. But that's just me thinking out loud. [/QUOTE]
