Default RE: indiana one buck rule

I think the Texas deer herd stands to benefit greatly from the one buck + one management buck rule. Having only one buck tag punished people for taking a managment buck, and as a result, nobody took bucks out of the herd that needed removal. However, I wonder how many hunters will still only take the one "trophy" buck and not take the managment?

I also think Texas needs to re-evaluate the number of does a hunter is allowed to take. Many will probably still only take the one buck, but buck:doe ratios are getting very skewed. We need more does taken out of the herd, so why not let the ones already taking does take more?
