Missouri Bowhunters!!!!!!!!

TG, How many hunter's hunt the same are that you hunt?  Is it a lease with limited hunters or open to about anyone?  Are all the hunters looking for wall hangers and is their a number of hunters (youths or less experianced) that are shooting the smaller buck? I am guessing that coming from out of state you hunt a lease or on private land.  I guess what I am asking is, in the game managment plan where you hunt, is their a plan to cull those non shooter or mature buck with poor genetics?  I am not trying to sharp shoot the plan where you hunt, just looking to further my own knowledge about how game management plans are working in my home state.

I was born and raised in Missouri, I was raised the same way don't shot does they bring in more deer but now me and my family are all killing what we can and mainly does to thin them down some, we only take good take good sized buck and we are in Butler county where there is no size limit that i am aware of yet.

Just for fun let's assume the regulations were changed and you could only harvest one antlered buck per year in Missouri instead of the three you can harvest now.

In our imaginary scenario all other regulations were left in place.  

What impact do you think that would have on Missouri's deer population and the quality of bucks within that population?
