The degree of HR is a fair subject for debate and the case could be made for either side depending on the particular area you're talking about. Not talking about whole WMU's as much as the much smaller areas.

What seems to be universal across the state is that AR has produced an older and therefore bigger and better average buck. Even among the most vocal opponents toHR overwhelmingly agree (sometimes grudgingly) that the quality of our bucks has improved.

I personally havent heard from anyone who thinks that 2.5, 3.5, 4.5, 5.5, 6.5 etc etc bucks are bigger within their age class than before AR. It's simply a matter of an older average age. I fail to understand why Bluebird and scorp can't grasp that simple concept.
