RE: New York Antler Restrictions State Wide?
I am in favor of alternative methods to address management and improved hunting in our state.Things such as one buck per hunter per entire hunting season(archery,rifle,muzzleloader,late archery).Significantly shortening the rifle season,for the most part the states that accomplish excellent hunting without Antler Restriction's are the ones with short firearms seasons.Why do we need to have 3 weeks plus of rifle hunting? How about doe hunting only in units where the buck take per square mile is below desired levels?How about no hunting at all in units where deer numbers are to low? We can think outside the box! My fear is that when ever any change is suggested people will negatively react from a stance of stubborness not logic or concern for the deer herd or the quality of hunting.
