What you don't seem to be able to comprehend is that it wasn't a choice between shooting an adult doe or a BB , it was a choice of shooting a BB or not shooting anything. Therefore, no matter how you slice it there were six less deer the following year because we harvested those BB. than if we would have passed on those deer. The simple fact is that trying to save BB and small buck protected by AR is the reason that HR has failed. The OW herd would have been reduced by over 85K is we simply had harvested the bucks that were protected by AR.
