Man, I have no idea why the buck-only rule. As far as I know, we have way too many does up here. Especially right around my house where I usually hunt. I can't believe there's buck-only zones up around us. I guess they (AGFC) had a whole bunch of does checked last year and not many bucks. I figure numbers on the harvest will be way down this year. I'm gonna try to take a doe with my bow once gun closes. Gotta love the Game and Fish!
