[QUOTE="Bone Collector, post: 5626780, member: 7419"] I think it did make one difference that many may not see. On high pressure public land I have progressively seen bigger bucks there. I know they were there, but they were fewer and far between. Keep in mind under the 3 buck limit, I would shoot the first deer by my stand on opening day of bow, buck or doe. I was more interested in [B]getting a deer[/B] than worrying about burning a buck tag. When that limit went to 2, I stopped shooting small bucks and waited specifically for a doe, because I had larger bucks on my land and go to LBL from time to time, so 2 bucks was a possibility, but 3 would have been s a stretch no matter what I did. So my thinking was I could burn a tag and still get on one or two at my land or other places. Now hunting has declined some on my land (working to improve it) and bigger bucks do not come around as prevalently. So I could go back to burning a tag, but it is tougher to do that with 2 as I may see a bigger buck on the WMA now and you never know what shows up at home. Plus my nephew is the luckiest kid a live and gets people to let him hunt and I may go with him there... [/QUOTE]
