Most southeastern states are conservative.

It had to stop - we were carrying about a million deer in South Carolina, and we don't need one million deer in South Carolina.

I don't know that we'll be able to sell, statewide, anything less than a five-buck limit.

And I can promise you that we're not going to go to the Coastal Plain and come back with a three-buck limit. But five would be a nice place to start.

What this shows is that a small percentage of us kill a whole lot of bucks. And many hunters continue to harvest bucks - primarily young bucks - even when they have opportunity to harvest a legal doe.
