I took this 3.5 year old 8-pointer this evening (October 2) at 6:49 PM. He weighed 180 pounds dressed on the processor's scales. Not my biggest rack or body by no means, but I couldn't help myself. We're only allowed one buck a year here in Indiana, and I can't believe I used my only buck tag on the second day of season. ![]() |

Only one buck in archery or in archery/gun seasons combined? |

In MO we can kill 1 buck in archery before gun season, another in gun and another in archery after gun season. We just have to follow the 4 pts on one side rule. But you can fill ALL the antlerless "doe" tags you want at $7 ea.! Still a nice deer though! Good luck to you for the rest of the season! |

Are the bucks that thin or is it for more trophys for non residents ? |

The state just wants to increase the age class of bucks being killed, and the one-buck rule is their answer. Right or wrong, they figure that people will be selective if they can only kill one a year, and will hold out for a bigger-racked buck. |

Kansas has been one buck per year for as long as I have been hunting. You get used to it. And I believe it does help the deer herd. |

I'm heading up to Northern Wisconsin next weekend to check my trail cams and set up my 2 ground blinds. Hopefully there are some good bucks for me and my friends to take next month (Gun Deer Season). My buddy Roger took a spike a few weeks ago with his Matthews Bow (not sure of the model), so I'll have some deer for dinner on saturday. |

Don't laugh at my over-sized dog - it's my first kill. First deer I've gotten a good look at in the field, too.
86lb doe, taken at about 100yds with a cheap Stevens .270. |
