I am against any AR in NY. I also believe any person supporting it may as well join PETA for the good they are doing deer hunting.

Out of all the ones on here in favor of AR I would bet my house all of you have taken a few or more not mature bucks. But now you want to tell all those that come behind us they do not have that same oportunity!!

Oh and high grading, exactly lets go shoot all the best genes out of the herd to make it better!!! That is precious! Rocket science for sure!!

I would love to see how supportive you would be of this if you did not get to keep the antlers!! This big buck perversion will be the end of hunting mark the words here.

Then the lets get back to natural!!! Duh we are part of nature and me shooting a deer and eating it is natural!

Oh but the deer ratio is unbalanced. It needs to be one to one so the rut is forced into a melee so we can shoot these big bucks easier. Even though more will die from fighting and stress!! How bout shoot more does!! Oh we can not do that!! We may not see 50 deer a day.

I have yet to meet a farmer who only harvests the old herd bulls. Admit you all just want some antlers to brag about. Well go buy some synthetic ones and let tradition and real hunting and hunters be.

You all want Ohio deer but forget we do not have the soil, amount of ground in crops not developments, forests with actual high quality deer feedand easy winters.

We may as well split here and those not in favor can be hunters and the ones in favor can be sportsmen. The diference you may ask? Sports are competition.

I hunt for deer 50 days a year, have hunted for over 30 years,put 2 to 3 deer in the freezer a year, do not buy any beef(do not need it), have not taken a 1.5 year old buck in quite a few years but I sure as heck would not be sorry if I did. I consider hunting a way of life not a sport.

This is the best quote I read on here:

"If my chances at a wall hanger are somewhat reduced because my neighbor shoots a 4 point then fine. If he's happy then I'm happy for him. After all, if he shoots a monster my chances are also reduced somewhat now aren't they? I really don't believe thinking that what somebody else shoots is my loss is a healthy way to look at hunting."
