RE: How many Pa hunters are pleased?
I was simply pointing out one of the unattended consequences of AR and last years archery harvest proves my point. Although there are more than 3 times as many antlerless deer than AR legal buck, archers harvested 31 K antlered buck and only 34 K anterless. Rifle hunters,on the other hand took 111K antlered and 289K anterless. If the archers weren't waiting for a racked buck ,they would have harvested at least twice as many anterless as antlered. That is one reason why implementing AR before the herd was reduced ,was a bad idea.
