[QUOTE="DeerCamp, post: 5753215, member: 21011"] Statistically speaking, a 20% increase in harvests as compared to statewide trend is actually pretty significant if it continues. IF it continues, and If you assume a bucks lifespan is 3 years on average (most get to 2, not many get to 4). Some napkin math shows you could reduce the year over year buck population by 40% in just 3 years. That said, I'm not advocating for a 1 buck limit. You know that. 2 is a good number and I wouldn't gripe about 3. It's the unlimited number of earn a bucks in a CWD county that doesn't actually have CWD that I worry about. Countywide might be ok, but local populations can be impacted. I'm not interested in dictating how anyone else punches a tag, but I don't think its a smart management practice to give any individual hunter the ability to impact localized deer herds. [/QUOTE]
