Simply not true. The majority of deer managers support letting deer graduate to the older age classes and most agree that antler restrictions, while not relly trophy management, represent the best compromise when managing large areas like a whole state.
Only 6 states currently have statewide ARs, so it is obvious the majorit of deer mangers do not feel that statewide ARs are the proper way to manage the herd.
You cant support the claim that most deer managers don't consider AR's a proper management tool
If ARs are a proper deer management tool why did rack sizes decrease across the entire state of MIss. and why did our breeding rates decrease by 5% and our buck harvest decreased by 46%?
