I agree maybe they shouldn't give out so many doe permits, but they should still be able to be signed over to some one. The problem is not signing over the permits it is the number of permits issued. It doesn't matter who kills the deer its the number of deer that get killed that is the issue as I see it. As for feeding deer that is already illegal in NY state and it should remain that way. There is a form of "mad cow" disease that effects deer that is present out west and NYS is trying to make sure that this doesn't happen here. I like tree stands and agree with several others in that I feel safer in my tree stand then I would on the ground. I don't think antler restriction would work.
