From what I've both seen and heard from the vast majority of hunters I know that hunt in PA, the overall QUALITY of bucks has dramatically improved in the 2 years that his program has been in place. I've also been told that the numbers of bucks is higher too for the same reason. I wish that MD would adopt this same philosophy. I knew it would be hard for a couple years--esp on those who just "have" to shoot a buck, no matter how small-- to feel lioke a man. Now, look at the pay-off.
