Judging by the Boone & Crocket record books as spoken of in a recent issue of Pa outdoor news, it seems killing really big buck is not easier but HARDER currently.
They spoke of how nearly no entries have been made recently despite all the claims of "more & bigger bucks"
Id say currently its a wash. Ar mightve added some, but hr whacked the potential of ar to work as far as "more & bigger bucks" goes. Extreme reduction doesnt bode well for promises of more of much of anything other than more hunter disgust.
