Shot one 3.5 year old. I was thrilled because I passed him up last year... found both his sheds... and then got him this year. Passed up many small bucks this year.

Dangerous time of year to hunt bucks. I almost shot a nive 2.5 or mediocre 3.5 year old 8 pt saturday afternoon. Done I had my safety off. He was in some really thick stuff. So thankful I didn't shoot. So many hunters are doing a great job on letting young deer walk. I hope they don't blow it at the finish line.

One 2.5 in ML season. Saw 3 or 4 spikes and one other 8pt that I let walk. I'm regretting letting the 8 walk now, as that's the only other racked buck I've seen all year.

One 3.5 year old 9 point during muzzleloader for me.
Hopefully a chance at one more this weekend (or at least a nice fat doe - I need to make some summer sausage!)

I'm in favor of it. Had one guy on our lease take three, all over 120". Another hunter took two, both over 130". They both would have not liked the one buck rule at all. I believe if we avg it out across the state (hunters/bucks killed), we would be surprised that debating this is a moot point..... G-N-B
Here's the real question...
If the two other guys on your lease had not killed multiple big bucks, would it have increased your (jb3's) chances of killing just one big buck? Would it 'spread the wealth'?
Maybe so, maybe not... but that's about the only reason I see for 1 buck limit...
Then there's the question of possible negative impacts of a 1 buck limit... for example, would people tag out, quit hunting and not shoot any does? Or would the opposite happen, people take more does for the freezer since they can only get one buck?

No bucks. No sense either. One doe during early bow. That's it.
