[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 4155606, member: 1409"] [u]The 2-buck limit was never intentioned to greatly reduce the buck harvest[/u]. That mantra has mainly been falsely stated and pushed by a small number of hunters opposed to the 2-buck limit. Most of those preferring the 2-buck limit never expected it to greatly reduce the buck harvest. The [u]real benefits are more subtle and much broader[/u]. [u]They included increasing hunter success from the get-go[/u]. At the same time, there was an expectation of a slight reduction of the total buck harvest. But the great expected benefit was and is a more balanced sex annual deer harvest ongoing, whether or not we see that in this first year. [u]The case for a 2-buck limit was more about overall herd health[/u] and increasing hunter success than it was ever about "saving" a bunch of bucks from harvest. Among these benefits was an anticipated (small, but positive) reduction in antler high-grading, improved buck:doe ratios, and improved buck age structure. Only time will tell, maybe 3 to 5 years of time, to just what extend this has been realized. [/QUOTE]
