Sometime later this year I will have the number of bucks, the average points and spread of the bucks plus the ages from most of the bucks in his shop.
When will the PGC provide the data that get from their annual survey of deer processors? If the data supported what you are reporting it would be trumpeted as a huge success of ARs.
I don’t know when any particular data might be released. But, antler restrictions are already known to be a success in most areas of the state and have ever increasing hunter support.
Some still don’t like them, but independently done surveys, conducted by professional poll takers, proved the disgruntled are in the minority. That seems to match what I hear in the field when talking with hunters, too. I almost never hear anything negative about the antler restrictions even from hunters complaining about not enough deer.
