No, I didn’t change my mind at all. The facts still support exactly what I said from the very beginning.
No, the facts do not support what you said all along. What the facts show is there are too many variables involved with the production and harvest of record book buck to draw any meaningful conclusions about the effects of ARs. The only way to determine if ARs improved rack sizes is compare buck in the same age class before and after ARs were implemented. As yet the PGC has refused to release that data, even though Miss. released their data after 5 years and that data showed the average rack decreased across the entire state. Could that be the reason the PGC refuses to release the data after 7 years of ARs?
