by the looks of the 5 bucks under AR size I've found left to rot and I reported to WCOs while turkey hunting this week. I'd say the AR is going about as well as many suggested it would.
Me I killed my rack buck only after I killed a doe...only because that's the order they came in.
Also I've seen at least a dozen bucks since mid October that were over 18" and 8 pts . But that's normal for me. While I've seen an increase in sub Ar bucks splattered on the roads in this county this year.
some of the little yearlings I saw kids with the other week were button bucks as well. BT
