We all know that most hunters are casual "sportsmen" who go out once, MAYBE twice a year with their budies and drink much more than spend time in the woods.
Easy to make a broad bush generalization based on myths and half truths. Let me try one. "And we know all cops sit in the donut shop all day."
Pretty silly isn't it?
And even if most hunters are casual, what gives the "true" sportsman such as yourself the right to dictate their hunt
Where is a 6 pointer even close to a trophy? They are certainly elusive in NY, but definitely not a trophy.
Thought sarcasm could be understood.
Elusive? Hardly - see my post on CNY - OVER 60% OF THE1 1/2 OLD BUCKSCNY are 6 POINT OR BETTER!!!!!
And if you put in 3 point AR they become a trophy!!! The goal of mandatory AR.
Still waiting to hear how targeting and killing all the 60% plus of the 1 1/2 old bucks with3 point or better will be good.
No good bucks in NY? Where do all the photos come from every 2 weeks in NY Outdoor News? Some outstanding photos and many from that darned public land.

A/R has worked in NJ for sure, and there are many who feeel it has worked in PA.
Guess that would depend on who you talk to and what your definition of "works" is. I talk to hunters every week in Pa who are disgusted with their management plan and their liscence sales took another drop this year.
