I'd also love to know, how many of you AR supporters, killed a big buck for your 1st? Chances are it was a yearling, or buck that would not be legal under many ARs, but you probably were plenty content to kill that buck at the time,werent you? Now you want to take that away from those who are coming up behind you, so you show you're a more elite hunter than another. A bit hypocritical IMO
good point-i think its been established youths are not under AR rules. I was a kid when i shot my first buck so an AR wouldnt have effected me then. Where that leaves the beginning hunter whos not a youth-i dont know. He would have to go somewhere wher there wasnt an AR. Again you guys are making it out that NYS implemented this AR in every public hunting area!!! if they dont like the rules go to a different area. I want to shoot big bucks-therefore i drive 15hrs to go hunt Illinois during bow season. Dont want to hunt an AR area go elsewhere. what else can i say.
