Default RE: West Virginia Deer Hunting Hurting!

We don't need AR in WV nor do we want them. AR do not increase the size of antlers. They increase the age of bucks. And older deer have bigger antlers. Very simple. PA had to do something drastic to reduce their yearling buck harvest. We don't. All we have to do is reduce the buck limit to 1-2 bucks instead of 5 and more bucks will carry over to another year. As for the doe situation it depends where you hunt. I live in northern panhandle and there seems to be a deer behind every tree. Other places may have fewer deer.
