My opinion....I chase people off my land because I spent ALOT of money on it and pay ALOT in property taxes every year. And for someone to sneak on and ruin my hunting is not right. I hunt only mature deer and anyone that goes after mature bucks knows how important it is to have little to no hunting pressure on the deer. It does not take antler resrictions to get big bucks in NYS, that has been proven. It would definitely help though. To me a yearling buck is the easiest deer in the woods to hunt. Taking a buck is not an annual event for me, but it doesn't have to be for me to be successful. I prefer one mature buck every 3-5 years over a yearling buck every year. I think the mentality that a lot of hunters have is that they "Have to get their buck to look macho", even if it is a 4 point. That is the mentality that needs to change in my opinion. Take a doe if you have the tag for it and let the yearlings go. I think I have a pretty good understanding of what hunting should be about and to me it is about managing your deer heard and hunting mature deer. Killing yearling bucks or fawns is not hunting to me.
