AR is great thing i feel,bucks i am seeing do have nice big horns.
most are 2 year old deer.
if the kids exemption was stopped,boy, that would be great thing too.
right now from what i am seeing, the AR is not working do to the 12/16 year olds and ILLEGAL brown its down with kids along tag thing going on.
While you may have a problem with adults shooting bucks for kids, IMHO that is not the major problem with ARs in 2G. In 2006 less than 10% of hunters were junior hunters and most of the junior hunters only get to hunt the first day and a Sat. or two,so they have limited opportunity to harvest a buck and if they do there is a good chance it will be an AR legal buck since around 60% of the preseason buck are AR legal.
A much bigger problem in 2G is that there are ,on average, less than 2 AR legal buck/SM. So if kids couldn't harvest non-AR legal buck, how many more buck/SM would it add to the 2.5+ harvest? IMHO it would not be enough to be noticed by the average hunter.
