Why would you not like to see AR in WV? I have a buddy I hunt with in MD, who is from Pineville, and every year he takes snaggly 3 points and stuff from Pendleton county. He doesn't even like deer meat. I guess so he can say he got a deer. I asked him, wouldn't you be happier to get a nice basket 6 or 8. Of course he would, but his idea is, "there is very few basket 6 or 8's in that area", so if he doesn't shoot em somebody will.
I just not convinced that is the answer. I hunt in Wirt co and there ar loads of deer there. There are plenty of scraggly spikes and 3 points that are young, but there are also 3 and 4 year old deer that are still spikes and fork horns. Under an AR, these deer would continue to walk and breed. If we just limit the number of bucks that are allowed, some people will kill the scragglers and alot more does will be taken out.

Are you from WV bigcountry?
