The more bucks that are carried over the more that will die from non-hunting mortality , thus reducing the harvest.
This may be your most ridiculous DILLIGAF statement ever!
That would only be true if the PGC agreed with me that the herd is below the MSY CC ,but they don't so you are wrong.
what has the PGC's idea of what the MSY is have to do with the fact that you have contradicted yourself?
The theory of high grading has not been disproven as you claim and you can provide absolutely nothing to show it has been disproven. ARs in PA were established based on computer models from Miss. that were later proven to be flawed.
The article by Dr James C Kroll AKA Dr Deer inthe August 2008 edition North American Whitetail points out te folly of that theory quite well.
Oh, and where's your evidencethat AR hurts the gene pool?
