Comparing SRA hunting to the rest of pa is not a great comparison.

To get the proper herd reductions that we want, you have to be aggressive in antlerless take. And you will take BB with that increased pressure on does.

By the way did you notice in the PGC hunting digest that it says: "That distinction (that they are male), according to many hunters, entitles them to special consideration".

The point is that the biologists do not say there is any compelling reason to protect BB, they put the ownership back on hunters for that type of thinking.

Biologists know the AR is what protects the proper number of bucks, not wishfull thinking.
