The "one buck" thing seems to be gaining momentum in the Northeast, at least anecdotally.
I seem to be hearing it more and more. I believe that it's the law in Maine and New Hampshire and it seems to be gaining support, at least amongst hunters in Vermont. I don't know about Southern New England. I think in VT, 10 years of AR's haven't put a 130" buck behind every tree so people are looking to add something more.
I'm the sort that's happy with any deer, but whatever.

PA has always been one buck, in fact when I started hunting it was one deer per season so if you killed a buck, your antlerless license was void. Now we are still one buck but you can take multiple doe which makes sense because it is the number of doe that determines the next years deer population. It was the one deer per season that allowed our deer population to grow way too large and many places had obvious browse lines in the woods, although some people were not able to see them as they fought tooth and nail to stop multiple antlerless licenses. At one time PA had a million and a half resident deer hunters plus non residents so you can see why we had a one buck limit. I don't know if we will ever go to more than one buck per year, perhaps in the special regulations areas where there is essentially buy as many doe licenses as you want, if they do it should be earn a buck by killing a doe.

Now, that's classy. You post a link that is clearly soliciting the opinions of other members and when those opinions don't produce a bunch of statements in agreement with your agenda you go all pouty and now come up with a childish remark such as this?
For someone claiming to be 72 with grandchildren, that is pretty immature. Do your grandkids know that you get this petulant and whiny when things don't go your way?
