Why? what scientific study or research has shown that we do not have enough bucks in pa to breed and have a healthy herd? None done here in pa is the answer...

So why conserve bucks?

Dr. Rosenberrys very good article published before the AR/HR fiasco clearly showed we have plenty of buck to get 90% of adult does bred and even 25% of the fawns. A good breeding rate before AR ever was even begun as a carrot to shoot more does.

No need for tags for bucks, because no one has shown that there is a need scientifically to keep bucks around longer.

Unless you really aren't using science, but instead trying to appease rack hunters. Yuck!

Makes me queasy thinking we want to manipulate nature and the resource for our own desire to brag over a rack to the guys at work. [:'(]

really with the herd at its new reduced size, thanks to cutnrun Alt, there is less need now for more bucks than ever before.

Repeal AR since its not needed, skip buck tags they too are not needed unless your a wannabe. Harvest away and we keep the herd small the way the nonhunters and timber companies want it.
