Well the reason I said what I did is because the visiter said NORTHeastern NY. I don' t concider the Catskills to be north although they are eastern.

My point still stands, from herkimer county north these deer would be considered bambi. A doe only weighing 129, that' s not worth shooting at, not much bigger then my dog. I understand that deer down south are much smaller, and if you go to Canada they' re bigger, but for central and northern Ny this would be small. I am kind of curious about how the visiter did there research. The smallest deer I' ve ever taken from these parts still weighed atleast 140+ and I felt bad about taking her, but it was the last day and I needed some meat.
