Oh and for the guy who asked why does it matter which buck tag Im picky on, my way of thinking was always my state tag is a one time a year deal.. thats it and I have every day from october first til 1st Sunday in January, excluding 5 days between firearm and muzzleloader, to wait for a really nice buck. So I pass up several when I hunt the hoosier national public woods waiting for a big one. But on the state park and military/refuge hunts I always just wait for a descent one. Doesnt gotta be a monster... I mean they are 1 to 2 day hunts. But i still pass til I see a descent one. I live alone and a deer or two is all the meat I need.. But I love to hunt.. So wanna spend as much time in the woods as I can. For past few years now I've completely stopped shooting does for fact I don't see enough deer anywhere I hunt.. and I believe Indiana doe limits are too liberal.. especially on public land.. and I wish myself theyd cut the limit to 2 does a year a person. I pass does for this reason and I get enough deer meat for myself from just one big buck. And on bucks I always wait for nice ones on draw hunts and a really big one on my state tag. Deer hunting is all about enjoying Gods creation in the outdoors.. having fun.. making good treasured memories.. and stories to tell your grand kids one day. It doesnt matter how ya hunt as long as you do it safe.. legal.. and ethical.. and you eat what you kill.. and your having a good time☺ As for myself I've gotten enough deer in my time.. and living alone.. I don't need a whole lot of meat. But I do love my backstraps!!😁 But at same time I enjoy only shooting a nice big buck.. and I enjoy filming and watching the does and small bucks and disiplining myself and watching them young uns grow!! Anyway yall it don't matter if you're a guy like me whos huntin for meat and big horns... or a guy whos just huntin to fill a freezer.. Or 2... or 3 lol with the mindset that you can't eat antlers.. So why wait for them... hunting is hunting. Do it safe.. do it legal.. do it ethical.. and enjoy your venison!! Do this and any way ya hunt is good huntin!! Good luck to all my fellow hunters out there who will be joining me in Big Oaks this year!! I hope we all get one! Good luck and be safe!!
