RE: shotgun only one buck what the heck
I'm in IL, but I think it goes along with the reason here we have that you have a 2 buck limit, but can only take 1 buck during the gun season. So you can take 2 bucks, 1 in bow, 1 in gun, or 2 in bow, 0 in gun, but not 2 in gun.
I think its due to the higher success rates of the gun seasons.....for 1.
and for 2, way more gun hunters vs. bow hunters, though nowadays bowhunters are adding up quickly, so pretty soon that may not be the norm. It use to be Everyone gun hunted! and some bowhunted, but now it seems almost everyone does both, or even just bow....
