RE: any Ar bowhunters got lucky yet?
isn't the "less than 2 inch" rule suppose to allow someone to "accidentally" shoot a button buck without getting in trouble. with this more refined definition, the agfc can now require hunters to add button bucks to hunter's two buck bag limit. the way the rules were written before, button bucks were "illegal" w/ no definition for them, so hunters would tag them as a doe, and i know of hunter, which i chided him for it, left a button buck in the field as he thought he would be fined for killing one. stupid, didn't know the rules, but this year, there will no excuses on where a button buck goes on your tag. it counts against your two bucks.
yes, i'm not excited about the biolgist work that we are required to do. if it helps our herd and produces healthier and bigger deer in the long run, then i'm for it.
haven't been hunting yet. thought i'd wait until the hot weather got out of here.
