2, it would have been more but I only hunted WI during the late season. The other places I hunt are buck only.

Well, this is might lead to one hell of a topic but why in Maryland , my home state I can harvest a infinite number of does as well as6bucks per season if I purchase the extra buck stampsbut states that are 20 and 30 times larger only take 2 to 3 per person.

And if your wonderin I took 11 does last season and 1 nice buck. The year before that was crazy,me and my brother arrowed 33 does and 5 bucks. I wont lie either that half of those deer had spots but that is what the property owners want.



I also give all but 3 of my harvest to the homeless.

I live in maryland also and wonder the same thing. It seems like other states limit there hunters to a low amount of deer that they can take. And maryland is not that big of a state.... Maybe its the deer population here or the number of hunters?

I think you answered your own question. Obvoiusly your herd can use a little thinning. Just because a state is bigger, does'nt mean the herd is.

And I took 2 does, 1 buck. Perfect!
