First of all we are talking about 2B not 2G. No one here is disputing the value of the increased doe harvest in Oct in 2B.
If there is a value to harvesting more doe in Oct. in 2B , then I am sure you would agree that there would be even more value in increasing the Oct. harvest in areas with poor habitat like 2G and 2F. Therefore, you should be supporting the legalization of x-bows statewide. Its just good deer management.
Second, You have produced no evidence that more bug bucks are being harvested before the rut.
AR's insure that more big buck will be taken and your buddy Livbucks says his group only takes 10pts. or bigger buck in 2B. Isn't your buddies word good enough for you.Remember, you defended him on the Goliath issue even though he was wrong.
