Default RE: Smaller 2.5 Buucks

In Oregon it actually decreasesd the average age of their buck because it put so much hunting pressure on their older buck..
Surely you don't expect us to swallow the implication that AR would put more pressure on older bucks here?

This is a perfect example of your willingness to use "facts" that don't have relevance here in Pa to "prove" your point. I can't imagine that any reasonable person could ever accept that AR is going to put MORE pressure on Pennsylvania's older bucks, as you imply here, when we previously were putting way to much hunting pressure on ALL antlered bucks.

Lets just be clear on a few things. First, do you agree or disagree that there was too much pressure on antlered deer before AR.

If your answer is no, fine, we simply disagree on one of the foundations for the current strategy and it's your right to be wrong

If the answer is yes how would you solve things considering PA's hunter demographics, habitat, landowner issues etc ???

Oh and maybe you ought to remind us what education and experience you have in the field of wildlife management.
