Default RE: NY hunters question

I've never really had a big stance on the whole AR thing. But, to me, I'd just assume leave things as is. We can weait and see how it works in the test areas. And like Steve says, I am not sure the 3 pt/side is the way to go either (maybe spread or more points on both sides). As far as I am concerned, I am just as happy with things as is. I have no problem shooting a spike, 5 pt, 8 pt, or a wallhanger. I just like to hunt, shoot, and eat deer.

As far as the one buck thing, that is another story. I think that idea is absolutely ridiculous. I buy my lisences to hunt deer. My tags entitle me to take 2 buck. Who is anybody to tell me that I can only take one? (more than likely they are hunters that only hunt with a rifle/shotgun)And in the big sceem of things, what does it really matter. Bucks have "nothing"to do with herd management. Doe are the key to controling deer numbers and buck/doe ratios. I hear a lot of people say they don't/won't shoot doe, but will take as many buck that come along (groups of hunters). Then they complain that they have small deer with small racks - because there are too many deer. Oh, and by the way, in 17 years of hunting, I have taken 2 buck all of2-3 times, but I am more than happy to buy thetags for the opportunity to take 2 buck(and 1 or more doe) if I am so lucky.

my 2 1/2 cents
