So, does your state allow you to take one buck per year? Or maybe one in archery and another with firearm? Do you think it makes the hunting better in your state?

We have some Yahoo's who are trying to get something like this in central NY but they are not getting the support from sportsmen they had hoped for.

If I am correct this is how many bucks I can kill in NY.

1 Buck in the early archery if I have a left over tag from last year.

1 Buck during the archery season

1 Buck during the early or late ML season

1 Buck with a gun

We have a bizarre system for giving out one or maybe two and antlerless tags.

3 Bucks here in Ok. I would like to see them reduce to 2 to help with buck quality. Alot of spikes get blasted because hunters know they still have 2 tags left.

A lot of bucks get blasted because people put to much emphasis on horns. If its a nice sized buck I can understand but people will roll a small buck standing in a herd of Does. Thats why the state is pushing the "A hunter in the know takes a doe."

I think the Okie Board needs to get together and restrict the bucks to 3-on at least one side. We have some awesome genetics here (just look at McAlester). We could produce nice deer but we cant get hunters to quit punching holes in fork horns and spikes...

With a few exceptions, it's either 1 or 2 bucks per county, depending on the individual county, up to a total of 3 bucks for the entire year. The tags are not differentiated between archery and firearm seasons. If you tag 3 bucks from 3 different counties during archery season, you won't have any tags left for firearm season.

Some counties this year are also issueing a bonus buck tag that can ONLY be used on a spike deer as an attempt to improve the genetics of the herd.

Well there's a great uproar going on here in Michigan regarding a newly proposed hunting reg that would limit hunters in the Upper Peninsula (the northernmost third of the state) to One Buck. (that's a period). So if you shoot a spikehorn with the bow in October, you can't hunt for any more bucks in Nov or Dec - no firearm or muzzleloader season for you. Done.

Some of you are aware that Michigan has a great deer hunting tradition, and in recent years 750.000 firearm hunters have gone afield on Nov 15th! But deer numbers in the north are dwindling and many are calling for action!

Some are skeptical that this will be effective since less than 5% of Michigan hunters take more than one buck. However others believe that a one buck law would save a lot of younger bucks, because now some guys shoot the first spike or fork they see for their freezer, knowing full well they can keep hunting for the big boy with their second tag. Under the proposed law, many will certainly think twice before they pull the trigger on that small buck. Some are so convinced that one buck is the way to go they want to see it made the law statewide, and cite the success of it in states like Ohio, Indiana, etc

So, does your state allow you to take one buck per year? Or maybe one in archery and another with firearm? Do you think it makes the hunting better in your state?

I hunt in Menominee county, southern U.P.....i would love to see a one buck rule for up there...i see tons of Doe's every year....bucks are hard to come by and when you do see them, they are spikes, 4 points and and occasional 6 point....would like to see some of them grow up past 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 years...if this one buck per person doesn't happen, i would liek to see and antler restriction for that area

man, some of you guys here are lucky...2 bucks and a doe, etc. Man, here in my part of Ohio, I buy one deer tag, and I am only allowed one deer, either buck or doe. Only one.

[/ QUOTE ]

Just being the devil's advocate here, but maybe you're the one that's lucky to live in a state where a resource that's important to you is protected from over harvesting.....(God, I never thought I'd say that to a ... a Buckeye wink.gif )

I live and breath deer hunting with bow, rifle, handgun and muzzleloader from October through December and I'm not looking to spend less time in the woods, but if it makes sense and works in other states, well....

[/ QUOTE ]ya I wasn't complaining about the one deer a year. I can still go down to southern Ohio and shoot a few more if I choose to, but only one deer a year, which is fine. I am happy with how Ohio's DNR manages it's deer. Proud to live here too. grin.gif

Re: How Many Buck Can You Take in Your State?

Statewide total 5 deer no more than 3 bucks, depending on the county. If you have Managed Land Permits then you can shoot alot more according to the state biologist reccomendation. Most one buck counties have very few deer, the two buck and three buck counties have a higher deer population. The state has imposed antler restrictions in some one buck counties in an effort to improve the life span and genetics of the herd.
