According to you, by harvesting BB ,to reduce the herd, I am reducing my chances to harvest a mature buck and then you turn around and accuse me of being selfish. Maybe you should look in the mirror if you want to see someone who is selfish and places more importance of producing more buck than on herd reduction,even though you give herd reduction plenty of lip service.
Well there, ol DD, where do I start?
Once again, you ignore the science thats not convenient to your point of view. The buck dispersal studies show that it is unlikeky that a BB passed on will remain in the same area. You are much more likely reducing your fellow hunters (down the road) chances than your own for harveting those babies after they grow up.
As for you accusing me of mere lip service when it comes to herd reduction, I have only killed 3 Pa bucks in the last 10 years. I have killed well over 50 antlerless deer in that time and only 2 were BB's. One of those was already wounded. (most in an SRA area, all legal, tagged and reported) In that time I also have passed immature but legal bucks every year before and after AR. I have passed many BB's and probably a lot more does when I couldnt be sure.
You ought to get your facts before you spout off
