Interesting what DEC says about bucks

[chas0218]

I just stumbled across a section on the DEC website about buck hunting where they had a paragraph on aging deer. It was pretty informative except the part that states people have to be realistic about the deer in NY. I'm sorry but the deer in NY are just like deer in the the big buck states. All the big buck states have scrub bucks no different than NY it's all about how it's managed I feel like this is a big cop out. The big buck states didn't just happen overnight, they needed to be managed properly and for the hunter not other interest groups. I guess they are in the "Damned if you do Damned if you don't" boat.
