yano where are these statistics comming from? not calling you out it sounds like an informative website.

as for saying "hunt bigger deer" i do... by going all the way to my friends place in tennessee where its gotta be an 8 outside his ears and they harvest a few every season because they do follow ar's.

the pop is high because more bucks are killed than does due to the laws. its a fact that between 70-80% of deer harvested are year-and-a-half olds.

im not doubting there arent trophy bucks in va ive seen mammoths killed, i just dont see the harm in a conservative ar it seems like youd see the benifits after just a year maybe 2
