It's just a shame to watch, when all you have to do is pop over the border to NJ and go after an animal which is older and wiser, meaning harder to harvest, and much more of a prize when you do, both mentally and in physical appearance.
I understand your personal opinion. There is no question to that.
However, there are just as many people who value EVERY deer they take regardless of size, age, status. Just because, an older/wiser buck is out in my woods, and I come across a smaller buck that presents an opportunity for me to be successful...does that mean I value that smaller buck less?
Simple answer: No.
You seem to bash NY a ton. Is NJ the next Texas? Why don't you stay in NJ and hunt then, if it is so good? (actual honest question).
NY has plenty of great hunting. In fact, several areas are well-known to be some of the best whitetail destinations in the entire country for P&Y and B&C monsters. Why you make it seem like NY is a wasteland in regards to deer hunting is a mystery to me.
Quaker Boy, Whitetail Institute, Mossy Oak Biologic, North Country Whitetails, QDMA, Charles Alsheimer's famed deer enclosure....what do they have in common?
Answer: Deer hunting....and NY.
