Default RE: PA hunters, do you support AR?

i do..up until this year ive seen one buck while hunting and couldnt shot it or id be in jail for knocking a guy behind hin out of his treestand with my bullet also...i see over 20 does a year so the problem isnt im in a bad area...this year im 15 and this is my 4th season i got my first buck..a 6pt and it did follow the ARs for that county...i would like to see people start passing on the basket rack trophys as they are called now for bigger bucks..then juniors would say hey theres alot of small big bucks why take a spike..but thats later after they work...now you try taking your son hunting his first year and telling him no son dont shoot when a nice 4pt steps put perfectly...if my dad did that to me and my buck this year(lets say it was a 4pt) i would been pretty mad..but then again if you dont let your kids read the rule books(i know it better than most adults it seems) you might be alright and it wouldnt hurt him because he doensnt know he CAN take it...i like that rule myself i think kids need to get interested in hunting...and watching trees all day is no fun..maybe change the age from 17 to 16 and save a few..because at 16 your hunting alone and i will be driving next season and i will hunt alot more..i think i might pass on the small bucks next year too...a 6 or bigger is getting it for sure...but i iwll have more time to hunt being i dont have to wait for dad so i might pass small bucks if i see any..or they can make it automatic juniors get a doe tag for the same price but gaurentteeds plus they can get the other ones..gota do more to keep youth interested..i took both my deer before this years in special junior regs....
