Default RE: Terrible gun season (NY)

I shot a mature doe on oct 14th in 9h I also passed on at least 6 different young bucks on that property during the bow season. I then shot a mature doe in 8g during bow but did not see many bucks in that area. I went back to the 9h area for gun season and passed on5 different young bucks during the gun season and i shot a mature doe. I shot what I thought was a doe during muzzell loader in the 9h area but it turned out to be a 1.5 year old buck with a broken off spike ( no visible antler). That shot was 150 yards with the omega so I guess I just could not tellat that distance, sometimes I can figure it out from body shape but not this time OOps!What was disappointing there where no mature buck sightings for me all season. I will try and finsih the season tomorrow night with a muzzel loader doein the 8G area I found some standing corn near a swamp and hardwood thicket, some of the corn is cut it looks good I hope to be there for the final 2006 sunset! This state is a good place to shot a deer but very hard to shot a mature buck in and i dont see any major change buy the hunters or the dec to make that better. I am going to start hunting more out of state now and spend less of mytime and resources hunting here.
