[QUOTE="AXL78, post: 4155335, member: 16362"] I think the argument is that if the limit were not going to affect antlered deer kill numbers, then why reduce the limit. It takes away an opportunity to kill a 3rd buck without saving a statistically significant amount of deer, or in this case any, but that number will fluctuate. The deer population was healthy enough to support a 3 buck limit, and there were plenty of older age bucks to kill. The complaining is that by lowering the limit to 2 you will not get a larger amount of deer in the upper age classes than we already had with the 3 buck limit, so why lower it. I'm sure someone will put together a spreadsheet with minute percentages favoring one way or the other, and some speculation will be done, but on a statewide level the benefit is very minimal, if at all. If you broke things down property by property I'm sure there are areas that will benefit, but that's not the role the twra should play. Not many will see a significant benefit is my speculation, but will lead you to believe their world has changed. I didn't ever kill 3 bucks, but the opportunity was nice. [/QUOTE]
