RE: Bucks in NY??
Last year we took a big 9 pointer (130+in) and a full spike, thats all we saw. This year, we've seen 5 shooter bucks (8+ points), a Croch and got a half racked spike. Doe numbers were the same each year. opening day of shotgun (this is in 7J) and yesterday I saw over 20 does each day and took one each day. Ironically, of my three bad days, 2 were the day after harvesting a deer. (Today and the 23rd). In 6K where i live, I have seen Very Very Very Few Deer, and Heard of 8 Bucks shot. 4 by one guy alone (Dipwad). Otherwise, very sparse deer population.
