Ryan,

Nice post and that is what most that aren't in favor fail to realize. AR is a good thing IMO but you will never get everyone to buy into it. My Dad, who taught me to hunt is totally against it. If he could shot a 1 anter spike every year he would because it was the first buck he saw and 'he got his buck.' When he hunts with me this fall, I already have a list of bucks that are off limits (even though they are legal bucks in my area,) it may damn near kill him to have to pass up these 2 1/2 year old bucks but the payoff could be huge.
