You guys with seemingly "unlimited" bag limits.....do you not have daily bag restrictions?

Because plain & simple, hunting isn't solely about killing something.
Nothing else need be said!!!!!

Amen rybo, I do it all every year for one deer, sometimes NONE if I so choose to pass every animal. I love bowhunting, perhaps more than most who have unlimited tags. I do it because I love to do it.

Also, to the author, how many hunters are in OK? In pay we have over 1 million, think about that, tags are allocated according to supply and demand.

In certain WMU's in Pa, you can take as many doe as you have tags for in a given hunting day. Only ONE buck per year though.

This would be a good question to ask.....no poll.....just have people respond, individually.

"If you live in a one deer state....do you wish you got more tags" (if your resource would handle it)?

EI....if you only have a set number of tags....then you certainly ARE "limited". The first part of the question would nullify you.

I am happy to hunt as much as I possibly caneach Fall for the "one" buck that I am after.

Many seasons I don't even shoot a buck but pass on many.

I don't need to kill something to enjoy my time outdoors.

You could buy 50 tags if you wanted. You wouldn't (for the sake of arguement) really have a "limit" at that point. Would you?

Yes, but I wish I had topay for it. I think if PA would let you buy a second buck tag for say 100 dollars, they would make out and still achieve management goals. Say a person couldn't buy the extra tag until they turned in their first. It would help get deer kills reported, raise some extra revenue, and allow the "serious" hunters who spend thousands on equiptment and put in a butt load of time, a second buck tag.
