Just out of curiosity how many of those 19 seasons would you have considered successful had an AR been in place.Are you a meat hunter that in reality is just a unsuccessful trophy hunter? Seems like thats the case with most guys who oppose ARs. If you are truly a meat hunter because you dont have time and are just looking to fill your freezer thats a different story. i just havnt met many of those! And unlike the other thread you and me had this conversation about license prices, i was not bitching about them in this post. I simply stated that i feel the raise in costs will effect the #s of hunters more than ARs do. mainly for the simple fact that price increases effect all NY hunters. ARs effect very few in the big NY hunting picture.
