The "one buck" thing seems to be gaining momentum in the Northeast, at least anecdotally.
I seem to be hearing it more and more. I believe that it's the law in Maine and New Hampshire and it seems to be gaining support, at least amongst hunters in Vermont. I don't know about Southern New England. I think in VT, 10 years of AR's haven't put a 130" buck behind every tree so people are looking to add something more.
I'm the sort that's happy with any deer, but whatever.
