I agree with you Sproul that there are a lot of unsportsmanlike characters out there shooting sub-AR bucks and tagging them with the kids tag.
Nothing new really. Folks have been buying their wife a tag for years and the wife gets a buck every year and never steps foot in the woods.
I don't agree that AR should apply to the youngins...I just don't.
We need to give them a shot at any buck that comes along at that age. Kinda like a free sample of dope. Get 'em hooked for life. It can only benefit the sport in spite of the abuses going on, that go on anyway no matter what. We must do right by the kids even if it is exploited by the criminal element.
We need more enforcement to deter these acts. Unfortunately the GC has cut back so much that there is virtually no enforcement.
