RE: anyone in NY mad about the antler restrictions
my 2 cents regarding A/R...NY state should extend the season in order to allow us to hunt longer. If they did this, it would take some of the pressure off us "week-end warriors" to get a deer. I might let that 4 point go during bow if I knew I had more time to hunt and I'm sure other hunters would think the same way. Look at some of the other states...SC has been hunting for 2 weeks! Ohio and NJ have an extended season into January. Our season is too short to be a picky hunter and there are plenty of deer out there for all of us! Bow is what...5 weeks andgun maybe 6. Becauseof myactive family life, I'm very lucky to get out 75% of the time on weekends. Which, if you compare to some of the other states, it's not enoughtime. My vote is not to restrict the antler size but to extend the season.
