Your point is pointless. The percentage of 2.5 bucks per the total harvest has nothing to do with my question. The percentage of a certain age class of bucks harvested has nothing to do with the fact that untold numbers of guys saw a doe, shot it and did not come back. Not to mention the untold numbers that saw an AR legal buck, but couldn't ascertain the legality of it in time to make a shot and then maybe saw a doe and shot it.

More than AR, combined seasons are your groups nemesis. That is something that should be changed in areas with low density, namely yours.
I think you are misplacing your frustration on AR when combined seasons, (which I will pen CS), is the enemy.
