RE: One buck rule
I personally have all kinds of ideas about how NY could handle their deer management. I for one would like to see deer check stations so the DEC could get some idea exactly what the status of the herd is. This woud eliminate the need for reporting, and give them an exact idea of what is being taken, ages of the deer being taken and health of the herd. As far as how many deer, make it a one doe and one buck limit, but make additional tags available as the numbers develop, as in more available tags if the herd looks like numbers are up, and late in the season issued tags as you fill the tags you are issued and the herd numbers warrant it. I am sure there is alot of fine tuning to be done, but something different should be tried, even if it is a pilot program. After all, things change. The problem is this state loves to drag its feet. Case in point is the 16 year old big game limit.
