I would copy and paste Pennsylvania’s laws. Can anyone argue that the quality of bucks and the herd in general hasn’t drastically improved in the last ten years in PA? It’s nothing out of the ordinary to see 140” bucks being killed all over that state. It can be done here if the dnr actually gave a crap about the deer herd and didn’t practice wholesale slaughter as a management program

why does a buck tag need to be tied to a weapon or season?  Dead is dead, what difference does it make when or how it is shot?

It’s not about dead, makes guys either buy both licenses or just take one buck which is what it should be.

How about a compromise, you can kill your second buck using a bow but only during designated gun season days. Bucks are vulnerable early season and during the rut ,that would reduce guys from killing multiple  young bucks during those periods  and do away with baiting
