Doc you got more BS than carter has liver pills, some of your figures can be made to match anything you want. We need a one buck rule let every one have a chance .
Talk to the DEC biologists. Start with Tim Spierto and work your way from there. There is no biological reason to implement a one buck rule. Not one. The number of hunters who are harvesting a second buck in NYS are so low it makes no sense to even go after. Waste of legislative time and money, not to mention insignificant returns for any kind of enforcement efforts. So you wish to stop approximately 3,000 hunters, out of 500,000, from harvesting a second buck. Please explain to me how this will magically improve the buck herds and opportunity for all?
Now, if guys are filling other hunter's buck tags, in effect going the "party hunt" route, well, that is already illegal and if you know a hunter or two that do this, report them.
