Here is how I regulate myself. If the weather is right I kill 2 does in early archery with XBow used to be compound so Xbow no diff. than my previous 40yrs hunting deer hunting then I buck hunt till end of Gun then a doe with MZL in gun. then back to bucks till end of mzl then another doe for 4 total or maybe 5 deer a year in at least 2 diff co.,s all on diff farms havent killed a buck in 5yrs If I kill a buck I back off on the does but I always get 4 or 5 if season length changed I would not pass in warm weather as do now
