The way Ohio looks at enhancing their deer herd is a nice one and it works. I still think we should start for a few yearsusing antler restrictions because this is a rapid way to increase buck numbers in just afew years.......then limit hunters to one buck tag, you pick your weapon and what buck will make you a happy NY hunter.. Like in Ohio, enforce your existing buck laws and have harsh penalties.

I know a advid deer hunter in Ohio that keeps bugging me to go out and hunt with him. He hunts coonhounds also like my father and I, this is how we know him. He believes many of the 2.5 year old bucks are making it throught and becoming 3.5 year olds. This makes a big difference in body size and horn growth in most cases. I'm all for this.

I'm also for limiting our gun season to only a week for example. Our bucks get slaughtered especially the stupid 1.5 year olds.
