RWK, I don't hunt New York. But from my experience in PA..... I think it really need to depend on your specific area.... As example... I have farms I hunt in PA where I can see 30-50 deer in an all day hunt. I have other areas where I could hunt all day, put on drives whatever where I may see 0 or just a few. So hunters need to pay attention to what the population is around them. The Game Commission may issue more tags than what is good for your property, but for another property it may be not enough.
