i didnt think you could take more than 2 bucks during the shotgun season? as far as taking the scrappy bucks i feel the same way but just remember there are some who dont hunt but a couple days out of the year and for them its just meat. i wish they would take a doe but if its legal im happy. my younger brother got his first deer ever this year during the archery season and it was a 1 pointer. it made his day as well as mine. he goes to college and works 2 jobs and is in a rock band so time is tight for him.
