[QUOTE="Shed Hunter, post: 3927008, member: 10556"] I somewhat misquoted you in that last comment, but here's what you actually said. I see the idea that 2.5s are going to take a beating and I agree with it. I'm not sure how much of an improvement in age structure I would call 2.5s. Logically ARs would create an abundance of 2.5s going into the new season. Couple that with the bucks that are going to be yearlings and it seems you might start to get an overwhelmingly high skew towards young bucks.. Possibly actually even decreasing age structure? We know that it is proven that areas can only hold so many deer so if this huge rise in 2.5 bucks is required, could that be a bad thing? By the end of season a fair amount of those 2.5s will be killed off and couple that with natural mortality you will only be seeing a handful of 3.5 bucks generated from the AR-most of which will have tiny antlers because they only lived because they weren't allowed to be killed? I'm only thinking in theory here as I'm certainly not a biologist and have no data to back my claims, but I feel like it makes sense [/QUOTE]
