I Would have to say it all depends on where you hunt, what state, public or private land. deer hunting now a days is not a one size fits all. take PA where I hunt they started the 2 weeks of buck or doe with antler restrictions. ruined Pa deer hunting. A/R last for about 3 to 4 yrs. then the targeted bucks get shot and the smaller bucks breed the does and you are back to square one. add too many doe shot for 2 weeks straight and the deer herd goes in the toilet. come to Pa iayotehunter and hunt on public land such as State Game Lands and I know you will not pass on a 150's deer. Maybe your 1st year but after that you will find out even getting a legal buck is few and far between. so it is all based on not the hunter but the place where he is able to hunt.
