Can you back that statement up with a link. Recent articles on the antler buck study showed illegal kills accounted for 9% of the buck being tracked. In 2002 the PGC said mistake kills accounted for only .001% of the harvest.

Before Alt implemented concurrent seasons ,hunters had to check every deer to make sure it had at least 3 " spikes if they were buck hunting, and they had to be sure it didn't have 3" spikes if they were doe hunting. AR did not make us more responsible, it simply made it more difficult to harvest a buck. Those that respect the law do so now just as they did before, the slobs still shoot first and check it when it is on the ground.
