RE: ARs= The Survival of the Weak and Scrawny
 

Name one state with ARs that leads the record book in either P&Y and B&C.

RE: ARs= The Survival of the Weak and Scrawny
 

How many B&C eligible whitetails have been entered from Pa, post and prior to AR?

RE: ARs= The Survival of the Weak and Scrawny
 

Feel free to post that info and then explain why so many of PA's top bucks were harvested before ARs?

RE: ARs= The Survival of the Weak and Scrawny
 

LMFAOAYBB2. Hunting in pa=more than 8 decades, AR in pa=1decade? Rocket science=priceless

Neither!~ They tend to come from the states with the shortest gun seasons, AR or not, which, IMHO, is the most singular benefit to producing deer that live beyond 3.5, with pressure [ no. of hunters } being next, again IMHO
[/quoute]












Hands down, the biggest factors.

RE: ARs= The Survival of the Weak and Scrawny
 

And you can feel free to explain why bucks that were killed in the 40's are relevant.

RE: ARs= The Survival of the Weak and Scrawny
 

I said nothing about bucks harvested in the forties, so you can explain why they are relevant.

RE: ARs= The Survival of the Weak and Scrawny
 

Rather than be fixated on B&C minimum buck, I am willing to bet that the recent AR in Northern tier of Pa. has proven to be a boon to 120" class buck, which of course MUST occur in order to have 170" buck, which, by the way are almost literally 1-100,000, AR or not.

As for the BB2's and Petro's of the world, they have illustrated the impossibilities of arguing a negative. To that world, I would ask, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, how long does their REGULAR gun season last; combined?

RE: ARs= The Survival of the Weak and Scrawny
 

Any hunter who reads that Newsweek article and beleives it or finds it the least bit credible probably should quit hunting altogether or risk being a hyporcrite. Which applies to you BB?

Here's some of the BS the article claims....

elephants without tusks because of hunting?

Cape Buffalo, pronghorn, deer, bighorn sheep, elk becoming rare?

Atlantic cod and salmon, several flounders and the northern pike have all propagated in miniature.

Oh and here's the one near and dear to Blueboys heart.....

Does anyone know of anywhere that AR is practiced without doe harvests? This writer has no clue and neither do people like Blueboy who would useliberal media garbage article to make his case.
