Thats why I like that Indiana has been a one buck rule state for awhile .Things are getting better, BUT as otheres mentioned, opening day of shotgun season sounds like World War II's Battle of the Bulge... Oh, and gun season is almost always during the rut. Schultzy--I know EXACTLY what you mean. It sucks when I would pass little bucks this past fall during early bow season, and then see them hanging from trees in farmer's yards. Don't get me wrong, I'm not all about antlers and I would have no problem shooting a buck that isn't at 4.5 years old yet..But 1.5 years old, no way. I am praying I dont see as many little 1.5 year olds hanging from trees this coming fall, it is driving me crazy.
