RE: New York Antler Restrictions State Wide?
Antler restrictions are worth a try. They are not perfect but will enable more 1.5 year old juvinile bucks to reach their second birthday. The same DEC officer said 90% of the bucks harvested in NY don't reach their second birthday! WOW! That's sad.
I support such a measure and already practice 6 point or bigger while everyone else shoots up most of the bucks i pass up on our small farm in Greene county. I think it's time to harvest more does and manage hunters from killing small bucks. It will improve everyone hunting.
