Same here, From what I hear form other guys is that the restrictions are not perfect but as a whole are working. I guess there are exceptions to every situation. Glad to see it is working for your deer.

Originally posted by EastTexasMan View PostI am all for AR, but how does AR help younger deer have bigger horns? I thought the AR was just made so that way deer lived to be older therefore growing larger racks...
I also beleive that prior to AR a deer rarely made it to 2-3 years of age and a 5 year old was a war horse.
Now there's been a Paradigm Shift where more and more people seeing the benifits are willing to let a "just legal" deer walk. We now see that todays legal deer will really sprout the wood in the next couple of years.

Originally posted by buckmastertexas View PostI think it helps by there being more bucks, so that the does get bred earlier in the breeding season. Thus the fawns are born earlier and get a jump ahead on there development. Yearling spike bucks are spikes from being born late the previous year( more likely than not) and are behind on their development.
