I dont think ar is a black and white issue....either right or wrong. I also dont think its a big "biological issue". I think it more a matter of hunter opinion as to wether it should or shouldnt be. I could be wrong, but I believe more than half would like to see it continue. Hunter desires may not mean much to pgc these days, but it does play somewhat of a role in wether I support an issue or not.
IMHO a lot of the support for ARs is based on the lies Alt told while selling ARs. Every hunter enjoys seeing bucks with big racks and when a PGC biologist provides the justification for having more big buck ,obviously a lot of hunters will support it. But, how many hunters would support ARs if they were told it would likely reduce the average rack size of 2.5+ buck?
