How can you raise odds for one group at the expense of another group, when they are all hunting for bucks?
Are we not all out in the same woods? Are you claiming that dink shooters will not shoot a nice buck when they see it? Would you?
Not only has our group killed more buck since AR, but they are in fact BIGGER as well. That is MORE and BIGGER where I come from
What data van you provide that shows that the 2.5+ buck produced by ARs are bigger than the 2.5+ buck prior to ARs. The only data I have seen that indicated and increase in the size of 2.5+ buck ,was the flawed data from the KQDC.
Protecting 50% of the 1.5 buck reduces the odds that the average hunter who is satisfied with a spike will see a legal buck, while increasing the odds that a rack hunter will see a buck that meets his standards. It's just that simple.
