RE: PA's 2002-2003 Seasons and Bag Limits
Jason N I think what 445 was getting at is if it is made to be buck or doe then if you shoot a deer and it is a button buck or even a buck with less then a 3 in rack it is basically still a buck and should be tagged as a buck.When this deer is tagged as a doe and the report card is sent in it is logged in as a doe when by rights it is a buck.Or when it goes to a butcher and the PGC checks their books these button bucks or less then 3in. deer are logged as doe not bucks.So how can the PGC and Gary Alt say there are too many doe's or not enough bucks when by mother natures standards they are calling a buck a doe for their game law purposes.I do see your point on the two deer and you have a doe tag.The only other way around that is if you have a buck tag and the first deer you shoot happens to be a button buck then you must tag it as a buck.If not then you still have a buck tag and go shoot one of the 8pt. bucks from AR and you have shot 2 bucks. Wonder where all the bucks are going now.If you only had a doe tag left then you could still tag it as a doe without getting a fine.
