I for one think antler restriction is just another way for New York to try to make an ungodly amount of money from non-resident hunters. Pennsylvania supports AR but the hunters I've talked to say that they have yet to see any improvement in antler size.What they have seen an increase in is the amount of dead deer they walk up on that do not meet the legal number of points.Lets face it, when you are in the woods and you see a deer walking towards you that is not a monster buck it takes discipline not to pull up and shoot. A lot of guys see a deer not knowing what class of deer it is and shoot. Don't get me wrong, if I need the meat I will shoot what ever it takes to put meat on the table, But if I'm horn huntin' I let the littlins walk. Thats my right as a hunter and I don't want any one dictating what I can or cannot shoot!
