RE: A serious question about Quality Deer Management
That' s what I was saying last year when Penna. first imposed ARs. Most of the bucks being killed are still yearlings, now they' re just killing the yearlings with the most potential. I guess they figure that a lot more bucks will survive into next year. How big will that spike or 4-pointer be next year? We hunt in big woods with very few hunters so the harvest doesn' t really change no matter what rules they pass. They can sell all the doe tags they want but there will only be about 5 does shot in a 2000 acre area in my area. I think there will be a difference seen on a lot of heavily hunted public lands but I don' t think we' ll see a change where I hunt.
