As far as I know this isn't on the web yet but Dr James Kroll (Dr Deer) and the whitetail Institute have an article on page 105 in the most recent issue of North American Whitetail that points out all the flaws in the study out of Mississippi By Dr Demarious claiming that AR actually has a negative effect on antler quality.

It's worth picking up a copy for anyone on either side of this issue. It provides a lot of information backing up our current AR/HR policies by citing actual results in other states.The Article does mention that a spread restriction is a bit more effective than a point count but other than that, it shows how AR combined with proper doe management helps increase breeding age, herd health etc etc (all the thing Gary Alt said would happen). The article is way to long for me to type in here, and, as I said, it doesnt seem to be on the web yet.
