I guess I have a bit of a hard time assessing what Indiana is doing in regard to B/C thinking it's right. Since the implementation of the one buck rule, it seems like Indiana has experienced more and more bucks with higher scores. (you notice I didn't use the word trophy because a score in itself doesn't mean a trophy, to me) I do think hunter attitude change and leasing are the main issues, both of which I don't really think the DNR has had much to do with it. Indiana has always had more nutrition then a deer herd twice this size could eat and the production of high scoring bucks is pretty much a matter of age. I don't believe there really is a need to reduce the herd size or the number of does for an increased production of higher scoring bucks.
