RE: Eastern LI
Good point ABar, pass on the little bucks so they can grow and focus on the bigger bucks. With that said, sometimes hunters only spend a few days afield, and any buck is a trophy. LI has plenty of deer, even big ones, Ive seen them and all most hit them with my truck, doing 55 with the head lights on and the horn blowing! (Love Ron White!) It's just the older bucks just hunker down and if the hunter didn't do any scounting in Aug & Sept, they reduce the chance of harvesting one. Need to find those thickets, I saw a 7 pointerat my camplast weekend "CRAWLING" through some thickets, but there was no way my arrow would have made it to the boiler room. What a sight though!!
