A lot of guys who support Ars do so because they simply don't understand how much it reduces the buck harvest. In 2006 we harvested 75,762 ,1.5 buck and if ARs saved 50% then we carried over 75,762, 1.5 bucks. but in 2007 we only harvested 34,114, 2.5 buck which is only 45% of the bucks that were protected by ARs. How many of the 41,648 2.5 bucks that weren't harvested were lost to non-hunting mortality,weren't AR legal,were killed as antlerless or survived to be 3.5 buck.
