[QUOTE] As others have mentioned, if anything the genetically inferior bucks are given the chance to live and procreate for another year or more with AR's. The small 6 or 8 point 1.5 to 2.5 year old will surely be shot at first sight so his better genetics in actuality will be procreating for a shorter period of time.

That is the problem with ARs in a nutshell and it explains why ARs will never produce bigger 2.5+ buck than we had before ARs. Then if you factor in the effects of high grading, it is clear that ARs won't produce bigger racks in our 2.5+ buck.
