RE: what do you think NY antler restrictions
I only harvest a decent buck that is 8 point or bigger .
I have harvested many bucks and I admit also I to use to shoot the first legal buck i seen .
Though as mentioned there are many different areas over and under populated in NY ,
I would say yes to antler restrictions , Only harvesting bucks that have at least 3 points on one side .
I also agree on letting youth hunters to be able to harvest a doe up to the age of 17 .
Then they would have tofallow all adult rules .
I,m sure everone will say nooo .
But after a 3 year period you will see a big change in quality .
If your looking for venesin harvest a legal doe .
If your looking for a wall hanger why harvest a spike horn ???
