If you havent read it yet, get your hands on a copy of the August issue of North American Whitetail and read Dr Kroll article on page 105. It puts a new and different perspective on the results of the AR studies in Mississippi. It points out some reasonable concerns that could place doubt on the conclusions from the study.
That is absolutely not true. Kroll exposed his total ignorance of what caused the decreased rack size in Miss. The study Kroll referred to were computer models and the results from the kerr study in Texas. Kroll did not review or consider the actual results from harvest studies that were conducted after ARs were in place for 4 or more years which showed that high grading was responsible for the decrease.
I do NOT mourn the loss of the one day (now more like half day) nimrods from the big woods. A slightly smaller punkin army in the woods on "buck Monday" as many of us geezers still call it isn't a bad thing IMHO. It is interesting to note though, that PA's decline in hunting license sales is squarely in line with national average across the nation that includes all the states that arent experiencing similar changes to their deer herd.
That is a flat out lie. Pa license sales were increasing until hunters experienced the effects of HR. then resident adult license sales began to decline along with junior and out of state license sales. You simply say whatever supports your agenda even if it is a flat out lie.
