Default RE: what do you think NY antler restrictions

The results of ARs in PA are not what was predicted. ARs did not double the number of 8 pt. buck or the number of 2.5+ buck. Only around 1% of our hunters benefit by harvesting a 2.5+ buck,while many more go without a buck due to ARs. Furthermore ,there was no increase in the percentage of buck in the older age classes because hunting pressure shifted from the 1.5 buck class to the 2.5+ buck class.
