Going after a buck?

-Jake
I know it is only easy when everything works out. I have shot many deer with bow but this is my first year not climbing into a tree stand and hunting with a compound. Having the crossbow does take some of the difficulty out of the equation. This year they changed the rules here in Vt and we are now a 1 buck only state. My goal was to harvest a doe for the freezer during bow and possibly adding a second with an additional tag which I bought. I have a ML antlerless tag which would allow me to harvest another doe during the ML season. Rifle season is 16 days and it is buck only. If I don't score I can take a buck during the later ML season. If I took a buck during bow season I wouldn't be able to rifle or ML hunt.
