A legal buck in NY is one with at least a 3" antler one one side. If it doesn't meet that requirement, it has to be tagged with a doe permit. I would be against any additional restrictions for us.

One thing I have noticed being able to talk about these issues with people from all over the country ..... everything is relative ...... you midwest guys seem to have 130 class deer running all over the place ... it's not that way here ... we also do not have the thousands of doe running around that some of you other guys seem to have ... I mean ... 6+ deer / year allowed? WOW...

This past year in my area, I knew people that did not get even ONE doe permit .. they had a buck tag for gunseason, and an either sex tag for bow ... if you bought a muzzleloader permit, you got another tag for antlerless ..... I'm against it here ......
