There is simply no reason to expect that to happen and here is why. The average buck saved due to AR will be smaller that the average pre-AR buck ,because the average 1.5 spke develops slower than the avg. 1.5 , 6 or 8 pt. Also, we are harvesting a much higher percentage of our 2.5 + buck due to AR ,so fewer will survive to become 3.5+ buck. We harvested 86% of the buck that were carried over from 2002 and most of the 2.5+ buck that survived were those that were not AR legal at 2.5. In addition, we are harvesting more of our buck as anterless deer,so fewer buck will survive to be protected by AR.
