As you mentioned, it's all about where you've grown up hunting. In SC we have a 4 1/2 month season in the lower half of the state. We've had no limit on bucks for 10 or more years now. With around 12 either sex days with a 2 per day limit and an additional 5 either sex tags available over the counter, many hunters here kill 25 to 50 a year. That's more opportunity than an entire lifetime of hunting in some of the northern border states with a 1 or 2 deer a year limit. I don't keep count anymore as I've become one of those hunters who justenjoys beingin the woods and kills only enough for the freezer.
