RE: One deer states.....2 deer states.....ramblings...
To answer the original question.
If I only have one tag and tag out early I and spend no more time in the woods then I will have gained little hunting experience but a freezer full of meat.
However if I either hold on to that tag and wait for a nice buck or continue to hunt because I have unlimited tags then yes I will have gained more experience. BECAUSE I HAVE SPENT MORE TIME IN THE WOODS.
