On this site back when OBR was proposed I bet this poll was the exact opposite. Is there an archive of this? Nobody wants to shoot 2 Bucks….they just don’t want a OBR lol funny stuff… you can’t make this stuff up. At least the truth finally came out!

And with out the OBL. There still wouldn't be a rule that you must kill two bucks. You would still be able to pass all you want. That is a true statement.

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. Exactly…..all depends on how it’s taken care of from the field to the table. on these two statements.

Nope... folks wanted the ability to HUNT two bucks if that opportunity arrived. You're a hunter so you should know that there is no guarantee of a kill... one or two bucks.

I feel the DNR should manage the herd for satainability Not horns. If the DNR can show me that older deer(that just happen to have bigger horns) are better for sustaining the herd than more young deer with less old deer I would probably change my opinion on the obr but I have not seen any non biased information that states that. What I did see is that the buck kill is higher(all but 1 year) than before the rule so we are killing MORE bucks than befor so miraculously what is left are growing bigger horns. With a smaller heard (per doe tags) there should be fewer bucks available to shoot yet we shoot more than befor and they are older and have bigger horns. When you really look at those numbers that should not be happening. What I think has happened is that hunters have learned that good food,good management passing young bucks,things of that nature has led to more older bucks in the herd. I also think the hunting public has changed. When I was young most guys I knew hunted for meat. Now those guys are old and hunt for sport if they don't get a deer no big deal they still eat well. Also the younger hunters are more attuned to big horns. I personally have 3 nephews,1 good friend and 4 guys I worked with that horn hunt. I am about the only one that hunts for meat.i am a meat and potato kind of guy and if I had it I would eat deer 7 days a week. I do not condone any one that hunts for big horns and will give congratulations to the guy that shoots a 4 pt. With the previous statements and the fact I do not think I should be forced to only take 1 buck so the other one may get older for some one else to shoot and that taking 2 would not hurt the satainability of the herd I think the obr is wrong.

Exactly…..all depends on how it’s taken care of from the field to the table. AND what the deer was doing before it was shot. If it was running for 20 minutes chasing a doe before it was shot the meat won't be near as good as if it was calmly walking along before it was shot. Ask a person that has hunted pronghorn out west during their rut. I shot a yearling elk in Colorado that was running for a while right before it was shot. It was very tough (or I got different meat than the one I shot). My cousin who lives in Wyoming says NOT to shoot a pronghorn that has been running - it will taste like iron and the bottom of your shoe. The ones I've brought back from there are very tender and milder than our deer with a hint of sage in the meat. But mine have been calmly standing around and when shot don't go more than a few steps if that. Same with wild boar. Don't shoot a boar that has been chasing a sow in heat, even the sausage will be horrible.

Maybe a ODR to go with the OBR? 1 doe or 1 duck? Definitely one doe. We need to save all the bucks so let's start saving the doe as well. Make doe great again. And I love to get a full strap of ducks. But duck hunters know you can kill more males than females. Only deer hunters can not figure that out.

You can take it or leave it. What I don't want to see is antler and or point requirements.

But duck hunters know you can kill more males than females. Only deer hunters can not figure that out. Hunter's have figured it out. Majority that own and manage their properties kill doe's as needed. On 450 acres this year our COOP killed 3 doe's and 3 bucks. ( EHD all around us so backed off doe harvest.) Local hunter's control local populations, some just use as an excuse to kill. Ex. If I don't shoot neighbor will mentality.
