ORIGINAL: the outsider
Well I agree, but it also tells me that we should be working towards a better medium that suits trophy hunters and those who want to see a few more deer, or take a lesser buck if they want to.
We can agree on a
few more deer in some WMU's. I know that it has already happened lately in my part of 2F and from some reports I'm seeing, 2G as well.
My support of AR's is less about trophy hunting than it is about a belief in the QDM concept of a healthier, older age class, more naturalherd.
I am against returning to a policy that kills off 85% of our bucks when they first sprout a bone on their head. I do think aspread restriction is better for allowing bucks to age but no system is perfect.
