Two bucks per hunter would not work in PA. I neglected to say that when saying that the Texas plan sounded plausible here. I should have said that the Texas AR's sound plausible without the second buck part of the package.
Another problem with the TX ARs is that making bucks with up to 3 pts. legal would result in a big discrepancy in the number of bucks saved in various WMUs. In Allegheny Co. only 24% of 1.5 buck had 3 pts. or less ,but in Cameron Co. 63% of the 1.5 buck would have 3 pts. or less. Then if you add the 1.5 buck that would be AR legal in cameron, very few 1.5 buck would be saved.
The real problem with the Texas AR's is similar to PA's AR's and AR's everywhere. That problem is that there is nothing that will ever satisfy the little [&:]bird short of returning to the failed ways of the past.
