RE: PA hunters or whiners?
I guess Data this mainly goes out to you....
It sort of sucks when someone tells you what specifically you can shoot and what you can't....thus AR. But what else does a state's DNR do when the hunters themselves can't police their own herd(keep it in check)? Sure AR builds bigger bucks....that's just a result of it, but what it also does is it makes people shoot more doe. Which everyone needs to do way more often than it happens. People must reduce most herds in most states. That's a proven fact! Why is it that there a lot of guys out there that are much more proud of a spike...fork...basket six than they are of shooting a doe? Because it's a tough animal to kill? Nope! That's a mentality that's been instilled from the older gentleman. That 2-3-4yr old doe is probably much harder to kill anyway. They keep passing doe after doe just to shoot an inferior buck. When hunters have this type of mentality, they MUST be told what to kill because they aren't smart enough to figure it out on their own. That might seem harsh, but it's not 1960 anymore. Older, more mature bucks in the herd is good for the herd. Is that some new concept that just hasn't caught on yet?
