What I don't like, if read under Appendix 3 Alternate Buck Harvest Strategies. It appears to me as though the DEC is looking to decrease buck harvest tag limits. It very well could be just 1 buck tag! I've also heard this from other club sources. If that is the case I hope its not restricting just 1 tag for archery, muzzleloader, and regular season total. That could greatly reduce license sales due to fact why pay for additional licenses if can only recieve 1 buck tag!
I personally am more than happy with harvesting 1 buck a year. Its pretty much all I do, and have done. But what I do like is having the extra tag during archery & muzzloader, then 1 in regular season so I can keep hunting for a big boy. I enjoy meat hunting first, most often a doe. Then going for big bone, perferrably with a bow. If I'm successful at that. Regular season wouldn't be all that interesting to me w/o a buck tag. Just my opinion.
