The sky didn’t fall when Oklahoma went from 3 bucks to 2 bucks in 2007 and it won’t fall when it’s 1. Plenty of doe tags for extra meat. 🥩 Some fought 3 to 2 and look what a positive impact it made! 🏆 73% of the harvested bucks in Oklahoma prior to 2007 (in 2004) were 1.5 and 2.5 years old. 73% were immature! That was because everyone had 3 tags to burn!🔥

Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio, Kansas and more are 1 buck and they’re the best states in the US as a result. Hunters in these states are loving 1 buck. The average buck age structure is consistently better in those states than states like Oklahoma, Nebraska, Texas, Missouri etc. with multiple tags.

The same impact will occur when Oklahoma is a 1 buck state. It’s simple math. It’s a mindset shift. It galvanizes equality among neighbors! Because everyone will have 1 tag! And not a “camp meat first buck and second tag for a bigger buck later”.

Most of that “if I don’t get him my neighbor will” stuff goes away when all hunters have 1 tag and not 2 to burn. 1 buck leaves more mature, large bucks on the landscape for everyone to see and pursue year to year. And that’s a good thing! 

If folks don’t like 1 buck, that’s OK. But there’s no denying its effectiveness and what a measurable impact it will make on our herd and hunting. The people that know, know that’s true.

November r***e and muzzleloader are also major problems…

Every area of the state has far greater potential than is being seen currently and that is all because of multiple Buck tags and guns in November. 

One Buck will allow the state to produce the most outstanding bucks Oklahoma has ever seen; it will happen quickly. 🔥

One Buck is the answer. And for all those hunters who are fighting bad neighbors; this is your fix. 🔨
