Atlas, You can do samething with a little bit longer time peroid by just allowing one buck to be shot,even if it's a BB.
Let's face it I would love to see bigger racked deer consistently, but I don't ever want to do it by decreasing hunter numbers or mandating a AR system.
I honestly believe if a hunter knows
[ol][*]That there are some nice bucks running around.[*]That if I whack this smaller buck I won't get a chance to shoot a bigger one.[*]He will get more selective about what he shoots.[/ol]
This also will still allow the choice for the guy that really doesn't care about racks to shoot what he wants.
Just like a band aid Charlie.........tear it off fast and it hurts less
It's funny how so many people think you need AR to protect small bucks..............when all you really need are bigger bucks.......people in Kansas, Iowa, Illinois, Ohio, etc don't pass on smaller bucks because they are more patient or diciplined.........it's because they know a bruiser is out there somewhere and they have a REALISTIC chance at getting him.
Guys shoot small bucks because that is all that is out there.............I don't see too many dudes blasting 4 pt bucks on hunting trips to Kansas.........same guy right??
