I don't know why I thought you were in PA. Ok, well that explains why you guys have so many kills. I was just going on stats from someone who used to live there. So can you guys kill 3 bucks?? How do you bow hunt with all those hounds running around? LOL!!

Dude...lol...You're REALLY misinformed about my state

On the western side of the state....it's a 2 buck limit (4 in select easternzones). We also outlaw running dogs while hunting deer, here.

The stats I gave you (1.1M) were from 2005. Our pops are GROWING.

Ok GMATT, NC must be somewhat similar to Va. There are no dogs /deer running past the Blue ridge in Va either. I know in the eastern parts of NC dogs are used starting in Oct. Just like here in Va, everything east of the BR mts, it's 3 bucks a year and as many nannys as you want to buy. So, are you in that 4 buck zone? We don't have that in Va that I know of. buck master, you live and hunt where?

Our 4 buck zone begins well east of the BR range. I'm in the piedmont (near winston-salem) and it would take me a good hour to get to the BR Parkway. NC is defined by zones. I'm in a 2 buck zone....but have friends in the 4 buck zone. I took a 3rd buck in that zone, last season.....the only day I hunted, there (during gun season, too).

I don't know how far you have to go east to run dogs....but it's NOWHERE around here.

The last CT study I could find was 2005. At that time they estimated 76,000 deer!
