Regardless,it's just as ridiculous that you would take that statement and twist it to mean that the average size of 2.5 year old bucks would increase.You know darn well what he mean
I think it is funny that you accuse me of twisting what was clearly stated, when it is you that are twisting the words because you know it isn't true. What you are apparently forgetting is that when Alt was selling ARs he said the purpose was to improve the buck age structure ,which would improve the breeding ecology and older ,bigger dominant buck would do most of the breeding which would result in improved genetics and larger racked buck.
If Alt would have just misspoke during a presentation , you might have a point. But, the PGC continued to repeat that claim for 5 years in the Digest and it still appears on the PGC website. The average hunter,especially younger hunters who might be a bit more gullible, would have little reason not to believe the PGC, if they wanted more and larger buck.
