There is no point in trying to explain anything to you. We all know that whatever is said, whatever facts are presented, no matter how many experts are quoted, no matter how many results are shown or research cited..... You will still find a way to distort it so you can bash the PGC QDMA, DR Kroll, Dr Rosenberry, Dr Alt, Dr Samuel and just about every other respected wildlife manager in the world
Actually I agree with many things those experts say, however not all the experts agree on the effects of ARs. Dr. Demarias has proven beyond a doubt that ARs resulted in smaller racks and high grading in Miss. Many states have repealed ARs because it didn't produce the expected results. Also, after 4 years of ARs in WMU 118 in MI, hunter support for ARs did not increase, and ARs were suspended.
And, there is no doubt ARs increase the number of buck lost to non-hunting mortality.
Well at least you are good for a laugh once in awhile. I guess you might actually have a point here.... sort of. I guess if more bucks live through their first season, there will be more bucks available to get hit by cars, die from disease etc etc
