J nailed my point here ...... if you read the antler restriction posts, you will see that many agree to it so they could shoot bigger deer ... thus improving the quality of the hunt, or deer to them, ...... is there a difference? Are we willing to give up our right to shoot the deer we want for a bigger rack? ...That's what scares me ....

Some of the comments were of that nature , but remember the reason I stated for AR in NYwas to bring the herd in balance. Not to create a trophy state. That is not their intention.
In NY, they have controlled the herd by doe permits ... there were years we could get 4 ... that only lasted 1 few years ... lately, if you can pull 2 you are lucky. Heck, when I was a boy, 25 years ago, we had 3 guys to one doe permit!!!
