how did two state record bucks get taken in Allegany co in 1939.?? it is truly amazing that bucks of this caliber were harvested in the same county the same year.  and from what i read it was the first year of NY deer season. 

 

hard to imagine what hunting would have been like back then.  

 

anyone know what towns they were taken in?

It was the first year of open hunting season after many years of no hunting.

Thats what happens when they grow up. We could have them again and in reality we are getting bigger and bigger bucks every year here in Ny.

Yeah, all it takes is to outlaw deer hunting for a bunch of consecutive years ..... lol. There's a neat way to make NYS a trophy destination. That's all that is keeping that from happening. Damn people just keep insisting on hunting.
