RE: Bucks in NY??
During bow season I saw tons of deer, does, and bucks. But as soon as gun started I saw nothing. I got a spike, and it sounds like it was mostly small deer taken during gun in the area, from talking to alot of hunters (so far atleast). I think all the big bucks, and does went totally nocturnal. I think there still is just as many "big ones", and I'm willing to bet the end of the season will be good. Alot of hunters will get bored, cold, and give up.
