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.
that is a flat out lie. There is no agreement that the quality of bucks have improved. but what is perfectly obvious is that Ars prevents hunters from harvesting inferior 2.5+ buck.
While that may be the case every once in a while, it is indeniable that AR prevents the early demise of many of our 1.5 buck so that they can become 2.5 buckand get bigger and better with age
