TFOX, PA is a one buck state, always has been, always will be but like Germ said, couple that with over a million hunters banging the first buck they see and wammo, the bucks are decimated. It's not about growing trophy racks, it's about balancing the herd and allowing mature bucks to breed and limiting the immature bucks chances. IF the population is higher with more older bucks, that's likely to happen. The answer will never be to get rid of AR's....PA hunters are not that diciplined. The first year that AR's are gone, the buck harvest would be outrages and lead would fill the air. Witout restrictions, PA would take a huge step backwards.
