Thousands perhaps hundreds of thousands of hunters accross this country who hunt where taking more than one buck is legal (even some where it's not legal) do it for sure. There are probably as many specific reasons they do it as there are hunters. Assuming you've been around deer hunting and deer hunters for more than 20 minutes, I'm absolutely astonished that a smart fellow like you, in his wildest creative imagination, can't summon up even one explanation as to what might motivate them. Have you ever killed a nice whitetail buck? Do you do know what it feels like? Now I certainly can't speak for all the hunters out there, some obsessed to the point of having wet dreams over the prospect of driving an arrow through even a fork horn, but perhaps, just perhaps, they like it. Now of course "nice" is subjective and each hunter legitamately has his own version of it butperhaps only a day or so or maybe a week after they succeed in taking one, something inside them says "hey, that was great, I'd like to do that again!". Who knows for sure but why would you assume that desire would only arise once a year? If that's how it is for you, fine, but are you actually telling me that if you were to take a 180 class buck the first day of bow season, you'd have no desire to get back out there and try to do it again that season? You're not really saying that are you?

Well we're all different, with different wants and desires. In NY you can take 2 buck but not with the same weapon. Personally, I'd give up my gun tag if I could take 2 buck with the bow. But of course that's just me. Really SBGobblers, I think what you really don't understand is that your wants, desires and motivations as a deer hunter are no more legitimate than anybody elses. If you are going to be "head of the DNR" you need to get better at understanding other hunters. You don't have to agree with them, but at least have a clue!
