Many whosupport AR claim they do it for "health" of the herd and not trophy management. Give them a chance to prove it. Shoot a mature deer first and you get to keep hunting - shoot a young one and you are done.
Why do we need to give them a chance to prove it?? Many think the deer heard is fine and have no problem continuing to hunt as we have for years. Bowhunting is time consuming and hard enough as it is. Why "punish" someone for being lucky enough to harvest a 3 point buck, spike, 5 point, etc. I had gone 2 years without the opportunity to take doe (no permits) and I didn't complain.But I would be ratherPOed if someone decides that my hunting is over (I get a buck with my bow)because they want to have "better" buck/doe ratios. I'm just not buying it.
