Default RE: How many Pa hunters are pleased?

Do you realize that over 40% of the bucks saved by AR won't be harvested as 2.5 buck. We will loose around 20% to normal adult mortality and at least another 20% won't be AR legal as 2.5's. Furthermore,Alt was wrong when he claimed that most of the spikes saved by AR would be 8 pts. as 2.5 buck. In Pike Co only 40% of all 2.5+ buck were 8+ pts. and statewide it was only 44%. Those percentages are all based on all bucks that were carried over. Therefore , the perecentage of spikes that would be 8 Pt would be much lower than the 50% Alt claims and 30-40% may not be AR legal.
