The area of NY i hunt has god awful genetics...

So points based AR would target the best genetics and give a possible lifetime pass to those bads ones you say are there.

Wasn't really that way in the late 70's. Maybe you were allowed one buck between the ML, archery and gun tags, this I can't verify since I hunted with gun only back then, but one was also allowed to take an antlered buck on a deer management permit if they so chose. These days one cannot do that with the DMP permit.
I am against AR in NYS I would go back to one buck per hunter for either ML, archery, or gun. This is the way it was back in the late 70's.

All DMP's in the 70's were for anterless deer only and you needed up to 3 people to receive your anterless only tag.

RE: new york hunters ,should know.
i have been hunting lower NY state since the late 60s and do remember the days when you had a chance at an 8 pt or bigger buck. i do miss those days and have been seeing nothing but spikes and 4s for the last 20 years or so.
ARhas been put into effect in my DMU 3j about 3 years ago and it is working, last season is the first season in decades that i have personally seen 7 and 8 piont bucks again and have heard similar reports from other local hunters.
i think AR is a good thing.if you are a meat hunterfor (which i am also) why not just blast a doe and let the 4pt walk? whats the big deal??

They did that for a couple years in the mid eighties didn't they?
One could shoot an antlered buck on a DMP for a good many years.
