RE: ONE BIG BUCK OR SEVERAL SMALL ONES?
Given the choice I would take more deer.
Where I am I get the worst of both worlds, 1 tag (lottery system to see if we're allowed to take a doe), and the big bucks are far and few between (my 130 is the biggest deer taken out of our camp in5 yrs).
We can buy additional tags for a few areas but they are archery only. Granted, I could use my one tag in Dryden where the monsters are, but thats a 20 hour drive (Ontario is a really big place!).
Our rifle season is approaching but I have no tag (took a small buck archery early season), thank god we are allowed to party hunt.
