I...(choke...throat clear, throat clear)... agree with Gino.
This aint the mountains and this aint the north country. A much larger portion of our yearlings are small 6 to 8 pointers. If you were gonna go with 3 a side here, you may as well do away with it altogether.
I also do support ar. And 4 point ar, not 3. But even if i didnt in general, with hr in place I would anyway. Without ar and with the cutting of the herd in half the buck herd would be a pitiful joke here in the areas I hunt with the hunting pressure they recieve, in both number & quality.
Most in this unit that i speak with support ar but not the extent of hr or the continuing hr trend.
I also agree that biologically it wasnt necessary at all, and has been proven, but was implemented for social reasons as Jake said. Thats reason enough for me though.
Just giving my two cents fellas. Don't kick and beat me, I wont mention it again for awhile I promise.
