That is about to change I think. If the NRC meeting went well we are going to have
Combo Tag with AR on both tags
A hunter can buy an archery or a Gun tag. He can shoot just 1 buck, any size. Then he is done.
I was suppose to be at this NRC meeting, do to the family issues with my MIL house buring down I was unble to attend.
Looks to me like antler restrictions would make meat hunters happy since their return investment is actualy more meat! Is it the Meat, or just the need to kill something?
Michigan is a 2 tag state, andsecond tag is 4pt or more on one side. I would like them to drop to one tag and keep the4pt on one side, it might actualy get back to the way it once was when I was a young man. The youth hunt would remain the same.

Add todays equipment to the mix and there is no wounder most bucks in this state never make it past a year and a half old.
Years ago I sat in on a Fish and Game meeting in Ky and proposed that bowhunters to be able to harvest 2 deer with a bow or one with a bow and one with a gun and it was passed. It was a time when the deer herd could support such a law, thank goodness someone was smart enough to have it changed back when the numbers no longer supported it.
We are way past due for a change in this state. I could go on for hours on this subject, but wont be able to sleep tonight.
One Buck and Doe tags where needed.

RE: Question for "mature buck" advocates
For me, I shoot whats available. If I know there are several 140 class bucks on one property then thats what I set my goals on. If the biggest bucks on the property are100 class bucksthen thats what I go after. If a bigger one comes by than even better. For me its all about whats cruisng my woods, but I cant deny bigger and older is more challenging and more desireable, if a 100" buck fits that description than Im all over it.
