Default RE: NY DEER HUNTER SURVEY

ORIGINAL: CattNY

If I was the dictator and I what I said was it, I would mandate the following changes, in order of preference:

1.) Lower the legal deer hunting age for shotgun in Southern Zone from 16 to 14.
2.) Eliminate signing deer management permits over to others
3.) Go back to system where it is difficult to get 1 deer permit instead of 2.
4.) Absolutely do not implement AR... it doesn't work. There were the occasional big buck before AR in PA and now there still is the occasional big buck. In PA, too many are going home empty handed for a few trophy hunters. AR equates to GREED.
5.) Enforce stricter penalties for people who feed deer. Even those who only put out a 200 lb bag on their feeder.
6.) Mandatory jail time for poachers.
7.) More perks for landowners who do not post their lands
8.) Don't give extra doe permits to landowners for tree damage or crop depradation if that landowner has his land posted.
9.) Change the damn reporting system to postage free mail in. That stinkin' hotline is a pain in the azz.
10.) Outlaw tree stands.

If I thought some more, I could think of a few more.
All but #10
I have used tree stands for over 20 years and there are still years I go deer less some by choice some cause I don't see em.

I really like # 8 this should be done 1st.
