The red is what I disagree with I guess. I'll volunteer myself as a personal example.
2010, I killed a 155" buck on Halloween. I had to doe hunt from then on out, obviously. I missed all of the rut. Did I miss 'the opportunity to get out and hunt A SECOND BUCK'? No. I still got to go out and hunt. I'd done plenty of damage in the buck category.
This year, I killed a buck that is over 200" gross. This was opening day of firearms. Did I miss not getting to hunt the following 13 days of firearms. Nope.
This is my thought process--OBR does lead to more mature bucks, which leads to more bigger racks. MOST hunters will trade getting one 150" buck for two year and a half 8 points per season. That minority that want 2 HRB bucks each season might seem a little selfish to me.
First off - congratulations on your fine bucks.
Whether the OBR leads to more mature bucks or it is a natural progression of an aging deer hunter group is debateable. That is why I am calling for a 3 year two buck trial conducted by our deer biologist to ascertain just how much each theory contributes to more mature bucks.
BTW - "Hunting" does is pretty easy to me in my area. It almost falls into the category of "shooting" does. Not even close to hunting mature bucks..
