Reminds me of a chess game Wes. You limit guys can win without actually having to take my King (buck tag) just put me in checkmate ie... dwindle the limits down to the point I won't shoot anything because I don't want season to be over early.
Will always be different ways of looking at things.
But I don't buy that you "wouldn't shoot anything" if the buck limit went from 3 to 2.
Heck, where you do much of your hunting, don't they have a 1-buck limit?
Could that be a large part of why you find the hunting so good there?

Doubt that the average hunter who goes about 4 years without killing "a" buck
would see a 2-buck limit as putting him in "checkmate".

Virtually every creditable source on here including you have said that TWRA is doing a good job and the deer herd is improving yearly, why then surrender opportunities?
I don't see it as surrendering opportunities.
I see it as increasing the opportunities.
If more hunters had a better opportunity to kill a buck,
is that not increasing opportunities for them?
If more hunters had a better opportunity to kill an older buck,
is that not increasing opportunities for them?
Who would be "surrendering" opportunities?
I can live with the 3-buck limit just fine, just would prefer it be 2,
and don't want it to be less than 2 or more than 3.
