RE: Terrible gun season (NY)
NY Archer your area of woods seems to be the exception for 7m. I used to hunt Madison Co. myself 10yrs ago, and saw those kind of numbers then. I wouldn't tell the DEC you saw approx. 30 deer on opening day, they'd have a tizzy on over population! 5 1/2hrs. You can drive across NYS in 5 1/2hrs! Congrats on the buck.
