[QUOTE="AllOut, post: 2411310, member: 12099"] ^^^^^ I don't think it had much if any affect dropping to a two buck limit. I honestly don't see dropping it to one making a huge difference either, but maybe a little is all we need. Reasons... The vast majority of OK hunters are rifle hunters only. So they only get one buck anyway. The next higher percentage of hunters use ML and rifle. So again dropping it down to two didn't affect them at all. It really only hurt the guys who hunt all three (bow, ML and rifle). Which is a very small percentage of people. Tossing out some number off the top of my head. There's like 200k registered hunters in OK. We kill about 100k deer a year. So only about 1/2 of hunters even kill a deer at all. Only about 1/3 or 30k of those deer are bucks. With about 75% of them being killed with a rifle. Which is already a 1 buck limit state wide. So even going to a 1 buck limit per year shouldnt have a very drastic affect. Except the fact it migh make guys more selective. I know a lot of guys who will fill a buck tag with the first little young thing with horns they see just to kill a buck. Then say they are hiding off for a big one with their last tag. One buck limit might just do away with a lot of that "gotta hurry and get at least one (any) buck down" mentality. [/QUOTE]
