where you hunting at i know when i hunt in PA EAB does not apply besides PA doesnt start til 10/1

I am surely happy that iowa doesnt have that.

EAB- stands for earn a buck for those who didn't know what it meant. I am living in Pennsylvania but I have 400 acres to hunt in Jersey. Once I get my doe I probably won't see the 11 point anymore but one has to hope he will show again. I hope that answered your questions.

the fact that you are seeing bucks kinda of tells me that the earn a buck thing is working. And If you let the smaller bucks go you will see more larger bucks.

It's always been that way. Have to shoot a doe in order to shoot a buck . . . all you'll see is bucks. When you finally get a doe to cooperate and your buck tag is open . . . all you'll see is does!


Starting this year in MD, we're on the honor system. We're supposed to call in or go online to register our harvest. I can picture some "less than honest" hunters shooting a buck and phoning it in as a doe. But hey . . . who would actually do that sort of thing?
