Like I said, one and done is simple and it let's you be whatever kind of hunter you want...meat, trophy, cull, whatever....one deer, either sex. Makes the hunter's and game warden's life a lot easier too.

forgot to mention...I did find a deer legal by AR criteria before season started. Seems if they can pass ARs, their number has been drawn for them to meet their maker. Prior to ARs, this deer would have probably lived to be an old freaky looking deer.

Alright,I'll try! This is my opion and that don't make it the truth.But all of my life the government has told me what I could do and not do.But I could always go to woods and be left along,I've been a outdoors man all of life,and I'm very proud to be an AMERICAN but I'm country boy and I like to think I can make correct dicsions.Now with that being said I am for ars but it should be left up to the hunting clubs.Now I know expressing opion sets me up be to throw down on,and thats alright too,but guys only way things get done is my expressing opions.OH MY GOD I LOVE TO DEER HUNT!

You do have to have rules, regs and limits...agreed...it stats out with how many deer you can shoot, second how many of what gender you can shoot, now it's how wide antlers have to be on bucks before you can shoot, with the exception of spikes.  I too still love to deer!

I will say this, I hunt in Wood county on several smaller to mid size tracts of land. All are very different terrain and locations, some remote, some very close to urban areas. Over the last 11 years the number of deer that I have seen has dramatically increased. In the begining if I saw a deer in a weekend I was excited, now if I don't see 5-10 in a sitting I start getting worried. Back when there were no antler restrictions we were with the "if it's brown it's down east TX crowd" in other words if you see a buck you'd better shoot it or you may not see another one the rest of the season. With the implementation of the AR's and the in turn increase in deer numbers we've made a complete 180. We have a strict management program and have started feeding protein year round. Since the implementation of the AR's we (3 lease members) Have taken a buck of over 130" each year, and furthermore have regular trail cam pics of bucks well above 140". I believe this is due mainly to the fact that my neighbors as well as myself are not allowed to shoot the first buck we see of the year. Hmmm, not sure why this post (or the one from Dacotua) got over looked by the anti-AR crowd? You and Dacotua need to start a consulting business to help others out - I would assume you would have the following three rules: 1. You need at least 200 acres per hunter in East Texas 2. You don't have to fill all your tags. 3. If you are only seeing a couple of deer a year then then STOP shooting deer (see rule #2)

Well all of those could be accomplished under the OLD SYSTEM too!! Without the smoke and mirror justifications of ARs, too.

On a side note, PHishTx, did y'all kill any deer off your place this year? What about your son? just curious?
If you shoot a young deer because a neighbor will shoot it, you are that neighbor.

Youngest got his first deer (doe), still waiting on the elusive "looking at you with ears in the alert position" first buck for him.
plus a cpl more doe from other sons, and nephew for a sausage-fest. Oh and hogs, too.
Mature bucks seen but the "opportunity" wasn't there. !!
A few scrubbs that would have made a good first buck, made the sausage pot a little more full, and saved some deer-groceries for the more "desired deer" still in the pasture. But whatcha going to do?
Seems like I don't get to hunt anymore, as they provide the venison. But that's OK, too. I'm not as mad at 'em as I used to be.
