Sure Corny, 2 engineers describing the physical difference between the 2 versus acceptance by recognized organizations. Sure.

I would like to see one buck per season (year)in NY. Three point antler restrictions does nothing.A large % ofyearling bucks have three points on one side. Four points on one side would be better.

They could never make 4 points on one side in for the whole state of NY, some areas just have god awful genetics, this isent iowa or illinois where its about the same all over...The place i hunted this year they took a 4.5 year old 6 point buck, and a two 2.5 year old forkhorns.

As this thread asked solely what each of our opinions are as to what we each would like in our perfect little world, here is mine.

-Smaller WMU's
-BOC that doesn't sell us out to the tre huggers and timber cos.
-Higher DD in most WMU's.
-No Xbows unless you need one, or you can use it during late season or general rifle.
-Optional Trophy buck tag...cost around $40 ...must have minimum spread and point count.
-Late season includes crossbows and in lines.
-Early ML becomes flint only, no scopes.
-Archery season runs one more week at the end. (The "down week" prior to bear season has alwayspuzzled me, and many years robs us of peak rut bowhunting opportunity.)

I would like to see a longer Bow season and a state wide 4 points to one side on all bucks. No In-lines during archery season and a late Trad Bow only season in Feb. Do away with the 2 week rifle Buck season and make it Bow only:D Just kidding!!!!

Smaller WMU's

Mandatory call in or online harvest reporting within 24 hours of harvest. (feasible once the POS licensing is up and running)

Seperate crossbow license and tracking. If the crossbow skews the archery harvest, shorten the season as needed for that weapon.

Lengthen archery season by adding a week at a time to the early season until the archery harvest is proportionate to the gun harvest as measured by hunter percentages.

Change the selection process for the BOC to better allow for hunter input

Mandatory bowhunter ed for all new hunters using a weapon that propells a bolt or arrow

Put in a COLA type structure for license fee increases

I respectfully disagree. At the risk of turning this into a another dreaded crossbow thread, I disagree. We are currently beyond the decision as to allowing crossbows or not allowing them. Like it or not, they are here. Now that they are here, they should be considered as archery equipment and should be fully included in the archery season. If the use of the crossbow is having adverse affects on the harvest then the lenght of the archery season should be adjusted. There should be no distinction made between the crossbow and the compound. I know that is not what you want to here and that you don't like it but, that is the way it currently is and I hope it remains that way. That is my opinion and you are free to disagree with it as much as you want.
