Those are good deer in anybodys book. I hunt all over NY including the Hudson Valley, Adirondacks, Steuben county and even on Long Island. Biggest racks by far - go to the ones on Long Island. Nicest racks (wide, high and lots of mass) go to Steuben and Alleganey (sp?). Luckily I dont have to deal with antler restrictions anywhere I hunt. Having been blessed with more success than failure over my hunting career, I can attest that there is great value in letting smaller young bucks walk. But I will NEVER be critical of anyone harvesting any deer they feel is worthy.
