I don' t know if I necessarily agree with the unlimited 2nd bonus, but I doubt that many people will really take advantage of it. Like the article stated, in 2002 it was possible to take a maximum of 10 deer. Last year only 22 Missouri hunters took all 10 deer. Heck, 2 deer last my family and I almost an entire year ... I can' t really imagine trying to eat 10 of them or more. I just don' t see where it' s going to benefit much.
However, I do like the longer anterless season in December.

Give those hunters a better chance to get some meat in the freezer in case they missed the big one during the regular season.
