I am sorry you feel this way. Of course I don't know the specific piece of ground you hunt, but I am familiar with a good portion of the 2D zone. There are so many legal 1st year bucks, besides the bigger ones that get thru as well. Although I started my personal set of size limitations before AR went into place, I never really did understand why so many people got bent out of shape who hunted in areas with sizeable 1st rack bucks. Yea the odds may have dropped some, just becuase you went from everything legal, to a restriction, but it is still far from the 'slim chance' statement.
