93% of deer are shot on private property…. The OBR isn’t going anywhere anytime soon the minority nay sayers will just have to deal with it.Sorry but that how it works. I definitely understand that but it definitely doesn’t help anyone trying to manage larger tracts though. I’ve had “bully” bucks that I’d love to get out of there but hold out. My whole early hunting life was spent on public ground so I definitely see the need for OBR in these areas. To many if I don’t somebody will mentality’s there. Agreed though that it probably won’t change. I’ll just keep inviting buddies to help with these management issues. Yet another great example of a hunter taking management into their own hands. Rather than insisting that the State changes laws for everyone to accommodate them. |

Just because the majority thinks it so great. Still doesn't mean that I have to like it. Or that I can't voice my opinion about it. There has been a lot of changes since I started hunting them. Like the 3 buck rule. Archery, Firearms and I am pretty sure Muzzleloader. Now look at us. Archery has bows that are unbelievable compared to what we use to use. And we still have to extend the season to accommodate them. Went from shotguns to the evil high powered rifles. And then we have two weeks of that Ol Primitive muzzleloaders. And we know there just like Davey Crockett used. So we should have a special season. But through it all. Look. Just look. If it wasn't for the OBL. We surely would have wiped out the deer herd with all the other advancements. I think I see the light now......Nope OBL still sucks. No matter if it goes or not. My two cents worth. You definitely got the right to complain and a right to your opinions….. but there’s only one set of facts good or bad! Deer hunting probably rigged……. |

Meh I am for increased hunting opportunities. Not less.
Obr I can take it or leave it. Never once did I double up on bucks. I can get 2 if I wanted to now...actually 3. Just not interested in shooting that many deer. I do view our as a limitation to hunting opportunities so don't like it. But have come to accept it and realized about 10 yrs ago it likely wasn't going anywhere

Not to sidetrack this maybe I should start a different thread
I like taking bigger deer myself but I truly am a meat hunter I enjoy about every kind of wild game
For you guys that are pro two buck limit why is that important to you this topic comes up all the time and on other forums that I visit once and a while. This is probably the only place I won’t get ripped on for asking
Is it more meat you’d rather hunt bucks I’m asking seriously
I don’t think I’ve ever read why on any board it’s important to them just they wanted it

Actually not. I can't physically hunt that many places. I already cover hunting in 2 states and I really don't like gun hunting so doing away with OBR won't do me any good. Plus I'm already try to get less male deer killed. You killed two bucks this year. You're not try THAT hard. I killed 2 bucks inside reduction area. I highly overpopulated area. I killed no deer in my regular spot out in the wide open wilderness of St Joe county. I really don't think that counts... |

Much more meat than from a doe and let’s the does live to keep producing me those young bucks. Cattle farmers don’t kill their beef producers but the excess males. |

This is probably the only place I won’t get ripped on for asking Is it more meat you’d rather hunt bucks I’m asking seriously I don’t think I’ve ever read why on any board it’s important to them just they wanted it Good question. My answer would simple that I just enjoy hunting bucks. Would I just go out and kill the first two that walks by? Absolutely not. Would I kill two every year? Absolutely not. I have hunted my entire life. Killed countless deer. Now there is just my wife and myself at the house. So I don't need to "fill the freezer" so there for I simple have no desire to shoot a doe for meat. So if I would get lucky to take two bucks. I would share the second one with family. As of now with the OBL when I make a kill. I simply do not hunt anymore. |

Greg if I just simple agree with every nonsense post you make would you still have a rebuttal? Maybe we should have a 2 year trial on that and the two buck rule. Wow |

I have lived on a farm my entire life. And work for a dairy farm when I was younger. We always sent excess males to market. Keep all the female. Maybe deer are different. Need to kill ever doe we see and save the bucks. |

Personally, I have killed plenty of deer and although I am not opposed to killing does, I don't do it. I haven't killed a doe in at least 10 years. It seems like less deer every year in my area. It's highly doubtful that I would shoot 2 bucks in a season, I usually kill one about every 3 years or so because I choose not to shoot smaller bucks. Admittedly, it's my fault, but I don't depend on deer meat to feed my family and if I kill early, I am done for the year. |

I will readily admit the amount and quality of meat from a 2.5 year old buck can't be beat imo

On this site back when OBR was proposed I bet this poll was the exact opposite. Is there a archive of this?

Meat from a mature buck is good also as long as it's handled right. I've had meat from 4.5+ bucks that my friends couldn't tell apart from a doe.
