I can answer the meat hunter and carring about AR question.

Last year Fl was thinking of adopting the AR's and sent out a questioner.

I called the game dep. they said if the AR came into efect that they still did not plan to increas the doe harvest.
That would put a big ristriction on meat hunters here in Fl.

Fl is a strange state as far as thedeer heard goes.
we have 4 differnt zones and there is a realy big differance in the heard between zones.

So differnt infact the zone i live in has a spical deer seasion its 2 weeks long and after the normal deer seasions.

Last years figers in this zone was 35 + doe to 1 buck raito.
and 35+ deer per sq mile.
its probly higher this year.

littly you could put 10 days on stand and see no bucks. but you would have sean over 100 doe's.
In one day in our best travil rout stand i watched 51 does and yearling pass.
and it was only a 4 hr hunt.
