I have mixed emotions about the one buck limit thing, IMO we should limit to two a year and meet in the middle. I have a problem with those hunters out there that will pass does all day long to kill a spike. I know some hunters that have not taken a doe in years. I try to take at least three a year to eat, If I see a mature buck I am happy to take him out. But I fill the freezer with the does (they taste better anyway).
So, what do you all think about having an earn a buck program, like it is on the NWR's that we have in this state.

I agree that is sucks to see a hunter pass does to kill a 1.5 but its legal and if they are happy I congratulate them.
Ive said many times I like GA regulations best. However, if its legal good for them. I know lots of hunters that go out a few (as in 2) weekends a year and are happy for any harvest and meet they get. They enjoy the meat all year long and talk about their kill...we need to remember that us on this site are the minority. THere are lots of others that pay for their licenses' that deserve an opportunity that they can enjoy too.

I know some older hunters (55-83 years old) that don't agree with shooting a doe at all. But will take a spike or any buck. Just the way they we're brought up.

Make that X3! I could live with GA's buck regulations. Not a big fan of antler restrictions, but it's only on one of two bucks.
