RE: Unbelievable NY Deer
Surprise surprise...it IS a NY deer. I've seen some real bruisers around Long Island (not quite like him....) but what gets me is the body size. LI deer RARELY get that big body wise (in my experience). He must be hunting on or close to Brookhaven labs (Nuclear research reactor on the property - heavily posted and guarded and only open to a select few hunters) By the way deer densities well in excess of 100/square mile. Yes 100.

RE: Unbelievable NY Deer
Zoomer No clue. If you think that the Pine Barrens has big bodied deer you are wrong especially in the area you are talking about. LI deer get big bodies when they are near farm land and not in the Pine Barrens where they eat acorns when there are some and bushes and twigs. And I really hate that people assume that the deer was shot somewhere illegal and where others are not permitted to hunt. Why didn't you choose Werthiem or Fire Island instead?
