RE: The great antler debate continues.
For evidence that ARR's are working, you need look no further than PA. I have quite a few friends who hunt there and they ALL have told me about how many nice bucks they are now seeing compared to seeing a couple of dinks scattered among the tons of does. There are some very nice bucks coming out of PA now and that will only get better.
I realize that some younger hunters might miss an opportunity to tag a spike or forkhorn, but how is a very young buck any greater a success than a nice doe of equal or greater size? Having a tiny set of antlers does nothing to improve the harvest IMO.
