anybody that knows me knows I distain "cutnrun" and his HR program where they are not needed. Where they are needed fine but I still distain Ole CutnRun anyway.
AR is here to stay, face it the PGC is not going to repel them anytime soon. surely not in the next 5 yrs or so.
I suggest we put the buck tags on lottery just like Ks,Iowa,Mt,Wyo,Colo.,etc. I really can't think of any state that has a good quality healthy deer herd that doesn't have them on lottery. Keep the point restrictions as well. Call this horn hunting,wannabeing, anything you want but the end result will be a larger % of mature antlered deer in the existing deer herd ( note deaddeer I said EXISTING deer herd,not the herd today as compare to 10 yrs ago)
The benifits should be to mention a few: the obvious nicer older rack bucks, hunters wanting to hunt for meat can apply for doe tags in WMUs with an overpopulation of deer thus putting more hunters in the field where there is a deer # problem cutting back on hunters in WMUs without a deer overpopulation, etc.

Deaddeer: while I agree with your stats on HR your stats on AR reaaly don't impress me. Stats can be adjusted to make any point anyone wants. It is simple enough to do, solely because for every stat that says one thing another can be produced to say the opposite, when both are really viewpoints in the end.
