NYBowhunter, its my understanding that illegal deer take, roadkills, all other numbers are considered and figured when they equate the numbers. How that can be done accurately, statewide, is beyond me, and based on comments in these forums, not being done effectively for some areas.

Pjarrows, Im with you on that. I like what states like Ohio do, temporary tags upon killing, and a permanent tag when the deer is checked in, and they all must be checked in. So many states do the non-transferable plastic or metal seal, Im surprised (not really) that NY doesnt.
