The falling buck harvest that you complain about and your wishes to appease the masses with forkies for everyone, is based on a spike in success ratios and not a historically expected result by anyone. Seems like that one year spoiled alot of guys, huh? I really didn't expect you to get it though.
The decreasing buck harvests occurred while the herd was increasing not decreasing, so your point about the the spike in the buck harvest in 2000 and 2001 is irrelevant. Without AR the buck harvet in both 2002 and 2003 would have exceeded 200K.
