I have heard and seen them react with outrage, snickers, or just a disapproving shake of their head when some nimrod shows off a tiny rack, small doe or worst of all a bear cub.
Now that is just plain silly ,since a non-hunter wouldn't know a 100 lb. cub from a water buffalo or a small 2.5 Y buck from a 6 pt. 1.5 and you probably wouldn't know the difference either.
If you don't know the source of the BB harvest, you are admitting you don't know squat about deer management in PA. The anterless harvest always includes at least 21 -22% BB. All you have to do is multiply the anterless harvest by 22% and you get the Bb harvest.
AR does not produce bigger antlers . The 1.5 buck saved by AR will not have bigger antlers than the 80K buck we carried over in 2001 ,prior to AR.
