AR's do not produce trophy deer. They also really don't impact the size of what you can shoot really all that much. Nobody is making anyone hunt for trophy deer with AR. All AR do is say because not enough people can retrain from shooting every 1st year buck they can, it has to be legislated to try and provide a better age structure for a healthy herd.

All you people say the rack size is not important for a "quality" hunt and you don't have to kill a buck to have a "quality" hunt, yet if it doesn't matter so much then why do so many people shoot little bucks, when it supposedly doesn't matter to them?
