Personally, I think AR is more productive in the Southern states that have extremely high bag limits and 4 month deer seasons. For instance, in Mississippi you can kill 3 bucks and 5 does. In Alabama you can kill a deer a day everyday of the season. Most of the other states follow these same liberal bag limits.
Double Creek, do many hunters take that many deer in the south? I take 2 or 3 at the most here in NY though I can leagally take more. I can't imagine anyone wanting 8 or 10 in a season. Even if you had a pretty big family would you use that much meat? I don't have anything against it, I'm just curious.
