I'm not bitter or anything and will await to see if perhaps our area has changed to "managed," which allows you two deer. And if anything, I'm happy the DNR is trying to manage the deer herd locally and by areas instead of blanketing regs across the state.

The management tactics they've used so far have resulted in a statewide deer population estimated at well over a million deer every year and record harvests the past several years.

They must know what they're doing. But with a new little one, I was hoping I could take two deer if offered the opportunity on my home hunting ranges as I won't be able to travel much up north.
