As a younger person I agree that the limit was an important goal. I was certainly more proud to come home with a limit than not.

Now? I want to bring home what I wish to eat rather fresh. I have stopped at a duck or two or a goose or two or even just one salmon. It's enough.

Quality over quantity.

Must admit that I would be happy with higher limit for deer as I have lots of ways to save venison and lots of friends who appreciate it.

I know that when setting limits it was believed that few achieved a larger limit so raising it did not significantly add to catch. Which leads me to think that if somebody wants and can catch 12 jacks go for it.
