RE: Antler restrictions - GLOOM or DOOM??

Cap, as most are aware, here in Pa we have had the antler restriction implemented for 2 years, now. I,personally feel that it has helped in my area of Pa.We have seen some of the largest racked bucks this year in archery season that have ever been seen. Recently, I visited the local archery dealer and as he put it, in years past the average spread in his contest, has been 12". This year the average spread is 15" and an unbelievable difference in mass.Oh, and the buck that won this year was scored at 170.

Of course AR hasn't been exactly welcomed with open arms here in Pa. It's so hard for people of this state to change their way of traditional hunting that has been going on for ever.

AR, YES!!! Cutt
