I am not totally against this. Why would taking less bucks and letting some grow be a bad thing? We are already seeing bigger bucks a little more frequently, so why not try to help this along?
Also, I think they should shorten the gun season, but when the shortened gun season ends, have something like a month dedicated to Black Powder. Or just go Archery then straight black powder. While this idea would be ok for ME, it would not for most, so that goes to the back burner. In short, shorten the gun season, and a few less buck tags couldn't hurt the number of big bucks around. Even for just a few seasons (maybe 2013-2023?)
