The Miss results are flawed at best and have virtually no relevance in PA. Miss was haervesting less than 2 does PSM during the study period under significantly different density and habitat than Pennsylvania.
The part of the Miss. study that was flawed were the computer models that predicted that high grading would not occur either in Miss. or PA. The results from the statewide harvest surveys proved that the computer model was flawed and rack sizes of 2.5+ buck decreased statewide. Dr. kroll's study also confirms the results from Miss. since spikes develop at a slower rate than Y's, which would produce smaller 2.5 buck than in a non-AR herd.
