Allowing junior hunters to take sub AR bucks shows me that the GC does value hunters and wants to recruit new people to the sport. The success ratio is believed to be insignificant. The expectation of success for these young people however, is of great measure. If you take away the hope of success to a young hunter, or make it that complicated, they will lose interest. A junior hunter is excited enough when a shot oportunity comes that we don't need to frustrate them by making them pass on the shot. This is probably the most significant thing they could do to ensure the future of deer hunting. Commissioners think of things like this, a biologist might miss this human aspect of overseeing a game species. Once again, kudos to the GC!
