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 reasonableconcerns that could place doubt on the conclusionsfrom the study. [/blockquote]


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.

Oh really? Well here's just a few links to folks who disagree. It took about 2 minutes to find hundreds of articles and studies documenting a nationwide decline in both hunting and fishing license sales. Here's just a few
