I think it should be multiple does to shoot an extra buck.

One of corse since the EAB tag should have a doe tag as well and that makes two . Some guys have no clue how many deer are in other countys thaty just assume there are massive numbers everywhere of does like where they are .

There are only a couple of ways to increase the harvest more hunters or hunter incentives.

deerman1, since i hunt mainly for harvesting a deer for food for family and friends, when i reach what i'm lucky to harvest and i have my freezer full, i stop!!yes i have taken two bucks in a season before(before the one buck rule), last year i harvested two does, then i quit! hope this answers your question...the area i hunt is not loaded with deer , so i just harvest a couple and i pass on fawns and small bucks(because of the one buck rule) ,whether its a buck or a doe..mainly looking fo a mature deer ,buck or doe......... ...............turkey scout

Also most areas of the state have way more than ample deer especially bucks to allow the harvest of what will likely be county by county just a few more than we take right now .You know that the TBR was fun and did not detriment the buck or deer herd since it was at the that time growing as it is now that includes bucks .As you said you do not have to harvest more than one buck if you wish but why not support the opportunity for those who want to ?? I think the point most of the OBR guys miss is that they do not have to take a second or a first buck if they do not want to but the fact a hunter down the road gets lucky enough to take two should never and will never adversely affect you hunting since you ultimately are shooting what ever deer you want and as you said you are just meat hunting anyway so why worry is another hunter takes two bucks your freezer is full.Think about it you enjoyed shooting two bucks so way opose that for yourself or other hunters the new hunters that started after the OBR should get the chance to feel that rush you and I did. I hope you see my point here that not every hunter hunts or feels like you about their hunting and there is no two counties exactly alike and most are completely different as deer and herd size is concerned..

If the purpose of EAB would be to give hunters more opprotunity while reducing the deer heard, 1 or 2 doe doesn't seem adequate to me.

Considering that most hunters in Indiana shoot only 1 buck a year and life time license holders /Landowners shoot t he majority of the does shot it sure would cause the take of of many more does since most of the buck shooters do so because they hafve only a buck tag in that pocket as the law sets right now ,Besides would not 4000 or 5000 more does equate to more does take at the end of the year ??

It is apparent that deerman and alot of other people posting in favor of EAB must be over run with deer. My area and alot of other parts of the state are not. If the EAB was put into effect in the areas of over abundance I would not have a problem with it, but you know it won't. All I am asking is to take a step back and think of the guys who may go out and hunt for days to even see a deer. There are alot of parts of the state that this is the case. If EAB is put into place this will put additional pressure on ALL parts of the state. Also if the state sees support for EAB what makes you think it will be for a second buck? It is more likely to be for that first buck. All I am saying is be careful what you wish for, you might just get it.

I would hope that the IDNR would apply any herd reduction (no matter what it is) to problem areas only. The full state "shotgun" approach has unintended consequences. However - I do not see any EAB happening in the state of Indiana ever. I feel that the IDNR is doing window dressing on a recommendation from the NRCAC and that is as far as it will go. I could be wrong, but I dont think so.
