There may be more big bucks in some areas and there may be less in others , but AR only saved 38 K buck and that is less than 1 additional buck PSM. If you are good enough to notice that one additional buck ,you must have calibrated eyeballs.

I know of a private hunting club in Monroe Co. that wns 2 FSM and has 40 memebers .They harvested less buck than in 2002 and the racks were no bigger this year.

We will see what happens when they release the harvest data. However , I will guarantee that even though we had 1.6 M PS deer the buck harvest will be much less than the 203 K harvested in 2001.
