You are still quite wrong. There were lots of big buck killed before ARs were implemented. Citing a few examples of 8 pts. winning a buck pool means nothing. With 33% of the harvest being 2.5+ buck in the 60's , it is obvious that a significant percentage of those buck would have nice racks , just like the bucks we have now with ARs. The biggest difference between then and now , is now you don't see all the smaller buck being harvested so guys like you thing the bucks that are harvested are a lot bigger and we no longer have small bucks.
