RE: who here hunts in ny?
Obviously it varies on locatino but there are plentiful location that will produce consistant buck and doe action. Personally on my stand rotations I seldom have a watch I don't see at least a buck and several doe's if not multiples. For the past 2 season rain or shine I have never been in a tree and not seen at least one deer mill about. I manage my areas which obviously raises your mature buck ratio but more often than not there are alway mature animals around and for those who don't think so they are probably the ones who say if I don't shoot him the neighbor will or are the are willing to harvest the first bone to come by. I will gaurantee you if you can hold on the trigger sooner or later you will get the golden opportunity.
