The total deer harvest was down....however; the total buck harvest was up... there was a 14% decline in the harvest of deer in NY, but the buck take jumped from 88,733 in '04 to 89,015 in '05...and the state can say what they want about giving us bowbunters a more lengthy late season. As far as I and at least another dozen bowhunters are concerned, they can take that whole late season crap and stick it...just give us our last weekend in november back!
