RE: NY do u think we should have a antler restrictions?
Steve, I read that web site twice in the last week. And I do agree that every wmu is different. I also disagree with some of there practices. Our population down here in 8Y would support AR. I no this because we have been working with QDM in the past 3-4 years on our private lands and are seeing the effects of the buck and doe ratio. We sure have not complained about our herd. And we sure have not let the DEC affect our herd. 8Y is popular for high herd numbers but were down, not vanished like others. I know there are a lot of other hunters in some wmu that have some population problems. And im sure AR wouldn’t work in those areas. You simply first need deer before you grow deer. That’s why I would go for ARs in our wmu 8Y.
