As for who's in the majority, I'll simply say that study after study shows that most people say nothing when they are content. someone who is unhappy is ten times more likley to get voal than someone who is satisfied. W have a very vocal minority but it is a minority according to every study and poll done so far
The PGC did a survey that showed 57% of the hunters rated the deer management plan as fair to poor. Unfortunately the PGC deleted that report from the PGC website. without a doubt the majority of the hunters support ARs because they have no idea we are harvesting fewer 2.5+ buck than we did in 2002, before any 1.5 bucks were saved by ARs.
