I used to be against them, but nowI am 100% for them.
I now understand why DNR and states do them. In states with to many deer it does help with the doe harvest. Yes mobo even in 1 doe counties it helps. It helps with states/counties who want to maintain numbers as well.
We have had a history of peaks and valley's in our deer numbers. What AR's do is help change a mindset, instead of waiting forbuck, a hunter may shoot that first nice doe now. IMO AR's will help keep deer numbers in check, and avoid the explosions in numbers we have had in the past.
Mobo it's not all about the antlers, on the surface it appears that way, if we truly are conservationlist, we should support state DNR's programs. It goes both was also, if mandates come out on no shooting does because of numbers in an area, we should be happy to follow them.
AR's do not just help with bigger bucks

It's also a great tool for herd reduction. OBR is great also IMO
