I think the problem that I am having is that I am assuming (yeah, I know what it spells) that a significant majority of the 1.5 year old bucks will not be AR legal while a significant majority of the 2.5 year old bucks would be legal.

So, if we don't harvest some of the 1.5 year old bucks the first year that antler restrictions are instituted then would there not be more 2.5 year old bucks or older to harvest the following season?

The reason I asked about your appearance on the forums is that we always seem to have a bunch of Alt supporters who visit this forum and yet only one "anti-Alt" (for lack of a better term) person at a time. It was just curiousity as I always am seeking to find patterns that are not always there.
