Here is another prediction I made about the negative effects of HR and ARs. I predicted hunting pressure would drop like a rock in many areas because hunters would become disgusted with seeing so few deer and in my area that prediction has come true. I have never seen so few hunters on the first Sat. and there was very little shooting. I'd guess archery hunting was down by 20-30% and that rifle is down around 40-50%. If this continues the herd will increase significantly the next few years and the PGC will be back at square one.
