I'm in favor of shortening gun & bow by one week each and reducing the buck tags to only one per year. I'm not in favor of antler restrictions. Who is to say what is a trophy to a first time hunter, an out of state hunter with very limited time, or a senior hunter? I ran into that problem down in PA which is why a camp of 8-10 guys who hunted for four days every year stopped going. We added those 4 days spent out of state to extra days in the woods in NY. I'm also in favor of reducing or eliminating nuisance permits in hunting areas. There is one farm near me that will not allow hunting but every year he gets 30+ nusiance permits and lets one guy come in. He shot 27 deer this year on the permits. That in my opinion is ridiculous. Open the land up to hunting or suffer the crop damage. I'm sure hunters would consider a small 'trespass fee' like paid out west or give the land owner a tax break for allowing hunting. CB
