JCC-

Lindsayis coming from that conclusion for QDM.

AR professes this for a different reason. AR would still prevent the large majority of those spikes seeing their 4 1/2 year.

Just think about the very basic theology behind it. Say you put up the 3 per side rule. The first season goes by, and said hunter is skunked. He saw a spike or two but had to pass. Next year comes by, one of the spikes end up showing up under his stand, sporting a 5pt rack. You think that hunter is going to pass him to let him "catch up" with the superior gene bucks? I'd think not. Why? Because it is already hard enough to shoot a buck (or a doe for that matter), and making it even harder with the 3 per side rule...Almost every normal, non-trophy hunter (which I believe make up the very large majority of the hunting population) will harvest that buck.

Not harveting bucks makes complete biological sense for QDM, but it does nothing or very littlefor AR.

People seem to think AR=QDM. That's completely wrong.
