Steve, believe it or not I can choose whomever I want to discuss a topic with, it has little or nothing to do with its content, as everyone is entitled to their own opinion. There are a few characters on this forum that I have chosen not to speak too because they have been aggressive, condescending or downright insulting. One lady, wrongly accused me of attacking her as narrow minded. Had she bothered to read that specific post she would have noticed that I addressed it to three specific people and she was not one of them. One person is demanding that I answer him as to the ways in which I will change the politics surrounding the NYC area. Steve, I neither feel obligated to respond nor do I want to respond to his aggressive insolence. I do not claim to have a magic wand. My introduction was about organizing hunters from that specific metropolitan area in an effort to have our voices heard by politicians. I do believe that as the expression goes "the squeaky wheel gets the most grease". My intention was to get sportsmen from my area involved in the process of protectin our interests. As many upstate NYers know, the politics coming out of NYC concerning gun owners rights and and conservation issues in general, sucks. I had hoped to get people involved enough to make sure that their voices are heard and for some reason that scared or befuddled people. My opinion about antler restrictions was my own and it was based on information gleaned from some of the most dedicated scientific minds in the world. I agree that AR's are a good starting point in many areas of NY- not all - towards healthier herd management. I have been accused of being a "trophy" hunter a "liar" and have had negative connotations attached to me, by you. I have not heard one intelligent suggestion or solution to better deer management come from you. Nor, do I expect too! Your attempts at being glib and sarcastic are not appreciated and for a grown man you still appear to have some growing up to do!
