I cant help but wonder...with all the recent complaints about no deer due to overharvesting, the DEC mismanaging the herd, and just not seeingbucks, I must ask...why is anyone this year hoping for extra tag opportunities? Many of us talked about doing our own management just a few short months ago. For what its worth, Im seeing fawns, bucks and total numbers up as usual. I hope this encourages some of you!

I do know that there is a big disparity across the state. 5% up statewide says one thing. But the problem is some areas are still seeing double digit reductions, while others are getting bumped up. I believe one unit may have lost 60% from last year, if I remember correctly.
