AS an archer you would in fact see more big buck with AR ,provided the herd remained stable. But that was not the topic of this thread. The point was that due to harvesting the best of our 1.5 buck, the average 2.5 buck will be smaller in an AR herd compared to a non-AR herd and you personal observations do nothing to refute that claim.
In fact, the results are so obvious based just on simple common sense I wouldn't know why anyone would even try to refute it.
