The funny thing is that our professional biologists are ignoring the latest research that shows that the theory of dominant breeding is flawed and that our ARs will result in high grading and smaller antlers and will do nothing to improve the health of the herd or breeding rates. The herd is being managed to satisfy a select group of hunters that weren't happy with the amount of effort they had to expend to harvest a big buck. As a result we are ahrvesting fewer bucks with no documented improvement in rack size within any given age group.
