Will H...Well...in Bama one can kill up to three bucks a season...a buck and doe a day...or two does a day...oct 15-jan 31 with a bow...and in some parts on into february but a later start in oct....to me...how many buckskins does one need...how many bones....sinew is quite in demand..antlers for stone knapping...that being said, I can see where my impression can be clouded by ruthless hunters who kill to leavem lay and only cut off the heads for the antlers. Bowhunters, particularly primitive bow hunters, do tend to use the animals they take more efficiently. Still, at some point, the similarity between the tendency of gun hunters to keep a number count on the deer they kill looms large here. Of course, no one owes me an explanation, as it is true that I am no authority...rather, you guys are a bunch of friends who hunt together, know each other, and appreciate each others' points of view and ambitions. I do think you make a good point, Will H, and I agree you know everyone much better than I that resides within your group. So, I'll leave it at that. I hope you guys continue to enjoy each others' company and good luck hunting.
