New member here. Just want to comment on the new 5 year plan. I do not like antler restriction. For many reasons. It should be personal CHOICE! The deer herd is thriving in NY and they want to cut back on tags, that me as a lifetime licence holder has already paid for?? One and done, No Way!! How about cutting back on the limitless amount of nusiance permits they hand out??THIS IS BAD FOR NYS Hunters any which way you slice it! Don't be conned by the anti's....DG
stka,Not me, I hate deer drives and wish they were outlawed.
Upstate,I agree I dont know everything, (sorry ramrod for the "I"s ya know its hard not to when you are a self centered elitist) so you are saying that the saleries of the DEC are all taken out of the license fees of sportsmen, and Federal funding? Im not being sarcastic but where does that money (fed funding) get generated from? Kinda nice to know when we call the DEC next time that we are their bosses. But that does prove that the state is trying to generate money and that they need more license sales to do so.As for the comment on being able to shoot and deer, any size, maybe then we should also allow for any turkey to be shot in spring. I (sorry again Ramrod) have called in a few non bearded gobblers and jakes not to mention hens. How about size limits on fish, why should we have to release fish that dont measure up to someones standards? Ramrod 3 "I"s 1 "Im"
