Do your part when the DEC gives dmp's. Use them. It is clear that the tool (hunter) is depleting.
Wow...........You want MORE dmp's and MORE does killed??? Great idea
Today there are better deer in the woods. I shot a niceeight point this year and my brotherinlaw shot a very large 8 point in the (Catskills). The deer are still there and are much bigger than before.
Your shooting of these 2 deer proves this how?? When are people gonna understand that when a story comes along about a guy 5 hills over that killed a big buck it doesn't mean anything.........other then one guy saw one good deer on one day. Why so many latch onto a story like that and cling to it like a life jacket is beyond me. It's one isolated case.........no different then someone saying they have deer all over their uncle's farm and thinking that is the way it is where everyone hunts in the state.
It is our job to manage the land that we hunt.
No........it's really not. That is what the DEC is for.
They will be much healthier and you will see much better head gear.
Head gear is the last thing to worry about..............how can anyone possibly be worried about antlers when a much bigger issue is at hand
