ONE BUCK!!!???
 

I live in indiana and this year you can only harvest one buck total the entire year.I was wondering what other states are like this and what people think about it.

Here in Ontario its one tag for the season, by default its an antlered tag, but theres a lottery that can make it an antlerless (any deer) tag. Its been this way for as long as I can remember, the only good thing is that we can party hunt and legally fill each others tags as long as the holder of the other tag is in the bush hunting at the time, that way your hunting doesn't have to end with the first deer you shoot.

Kansas...been like that for many, many years. One buck per hunter per year in the entire state. I like it that way personally, otherwise the quality of the deer herd would likely suffer.

I'm in Indiana also Ghost and I'm looking forward to seeing an improvement in the maturity of the buck populations. Saw alot of fork horns and spikes last year.

The way I took it, this came about because of the requests of hunters and there were even open forums where we had a chance to discuss our concerns.

I think it will be a good thing.

I remember something about them trying it for 5 years and reevaluating the heard and the rule after that.

There are always you bonus tags and I love doe meat, don't you?

We'll just have to be patient. I'm holding out for a wallhanger this year. Trying to any way.

Good luck this season Timber Ghost and everyone else!

Here in Texas it depends on the county you are hunting where I hunt it is 1 buck but there are counties that are 2 bucks

In Va. we can kill 3 buck a year, and a ton of doe. If you hunted bow, blackpowder, and gun and killed your limit every day you could take 3 bucks and over 100 does, we have a bit of an over population problem.

There was a discussion on another forum involving Indiana hunters, and many of them said they had no idea there were &quot;open&quot; meetings. And the couple guys that did attend said they were given about 20 seconds to start talking then told to sit down before they had a chance to offer any suggestion or rebuttal. My understanding, and confirmed by a couple Indiana Conservation Officers, is the reason this law was put into place was strictly because of the Indiana Bowhunters Association. The general hunting population wasn't given the chance to add their 2 cents. I'm not saying the one buck rule is a bad thing, but allowing a small special interest group to determine what we can and can't shoot is a bad thing. Guess thats just the way things are.
