It does make you more responsible, and certainly more mindful of your role as a sportsman in making hunting the managment tool it can be to ward off detractors of hunting from all sides.
Now that is pretty funny and a prime example of the AR spin machine. One of the main thing anti -hunters point to is those hunters that hunt for big racked bucks to hang on their wall. AR makes controling the herd more difficult as proven by the increase in our herd to 1.6M. We are even protecting buck in SRA counties so they can be killed by cars.
The hunters that are showing that hunting can be used as a management tool are the 323 K hunters that took anterless deer. The ones that were forced to pass on spikes and Y's did nothing to improve the herd.
