Yea Rob, you fit right into this category from my post...

"Rack waving was blinding some hunters who just heard the AR part, but forgot its weird cousin HR."

You only wish to talk about AR that appeals to your lesser nature, but you don't really want ot chat about HR which is a key to meeting the goals of our deer plan.

you know a healthy herd from our current program is not a cafeteria style buffet program. You don't get to just pick out the part you like and ignore the others. It don't work that way.

an I am going to post another quote from a state which has gone down this same road with AR, Hr, and BB harvests. Aksansas.

"Concerns surrounding the reluctance by hunters to kill female deer, on the chance it may be a button buck, could result in a decreased doe harvest. The agency has pressed for a balanced sex ratio in its deer management practices." Ark DNR

The only misconception about BB is that after a few year and some practice we won't be shooting many of them. As you can see from the Arkansas stats I posted after 6 years they are whacking as many as any state in the union and then some. And thay are not even harvesting 2 doe for one buck like PA.

The only reason we have AR is to accomplish HR, they are connecte at the hip and you can't separate them.
