Boy you never got a response?

The older hunters probably will be against, but the younger who have been taught about herd management and the need for a better buck to doe ratio
and the need to cull inferior bucks from the herd will probably be for it. You still get tags for doe, something a lot of older hunters have a problem with
shooting. Especially the doe they want you to shoot, the younger ones. I see no reason Indiana can't be a go to state for big bucks. You have a lot of the same
environment as your neighbors. I still like the earn a buck tag idea, it makes hunters comply to the states herd management.
Some of the big buck states imposed this and are having really good luck with it.
