Not sticking up for Atlasman BUT I can personally state that for years living in NY and having a camp in Roscoe NY. Hunting hard from October Bow season till the end of rifle season for 30 something years then skip 5 years and compare to what I have just witnessed this year things have changed period.
NY is still far better than some areas. BUT thats not what this is about

NY has changed period, no whinning, no crying thats just the way it is.
