[QUOTE="102, post: 5264005, member: 1462"] I hunt several states.It's interesting to me that most of the states with really good age structure and actually not just bucks but also DOES...DO NOT HAVE A RIFLE SEASON! EVER! Take Illinois for example...NO RIFLE season at all. About ten days of gun season.That's it. The bow season begins October 1 and ends in about mid January. Having a (basically) 2 1/2 month rifle season makes it difficult for bucks to survive. I love the season the way it is. And I bow hunt the entire season. This season I killed 14 deer so far. 12 in Tennessee. All bow. 4 bucks were from Tennessee. (1 less than 3" horns on public and mature, 1 4 point on public (bonus), 2 very mature bucks on hard hunted private). The others were on WMA's and public land scattered all over. My point is I do not think there is a thing wrong with the limits just like they are. Most people just plain SUCK at killing mature deer! And try to make it easier for themselves any way they can! Kinda blunt...but my opinion! [/QUOTE]
