ARs have done nothing to improve hunting in my area of 5C and have definitely not worked as predicted. Alt sold ARs on the basis of an improved age structure ,promoting dominant breeding, which would improve the gene pool and produce bigger buck. Now DR. Rosenberry says the theory of dominant breeding is flawed and small bucks will continue to do their share of the breeding which will offset the potential negative impact on the gene pool due to ARs. The PGC keeps changing their story to suit their agenda at any given moment and one never knows what to believe.

So ,it appears ARs were implemented solely to get more hunters to shoot more doe,which in turn reduced the buck harvest by 47% and resulted in fewer 2.5+ buck harvested than in 2002.
