BizCT Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Westchester County has got some of the biggest NY deer that have not been seen.Being archery only has made them possible to get to that size.I did alot of work at Pace and Briarcliff And have seen many huge bucks.So it is possible that there could be a record deer taken.NY is a huge state and to think we can't get a record deer is just nonesence.Westchester still has the NYS record typical. 180” I believe.

BizCT Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 200" ers have been killed in NY, legally Barely any. I believe the average is 15-20 true 200” NET bucks in America each year entered into B&C. The NYS Typical archery record is only like 180” from Westchester. I wouldn’t be surprised if that record continues for a long long time. It’s already been 20-25 years I think Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolc123 Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 (edited) As a pure meat hunter, antlers don't mean too much to me. Because larger-antlered bucks usually are older, and have larger bodies, my primary use of them is to provide a rough estimate of how much meat I might get, before I pull the trigger and punch my buck tags. Since gaining access to some decent hunting in the northern zone, about 10 years ago, I have been passing up bucks with less than three points on a side, during the first half of the southern zone archery and gun seasons. That has allowed me to save my buck tags for some hunting up north, and/or resulted in my killing of some larger-bodied (and antlered) southern zone deer. As far as antlers and records go, I would not "enter" a NY state Booner or even have one scored, unless it looked like it might green score larger than Roosevelt Lucky's NY state record typical. Besides providing a rough, on-the-hoof, estimate of a bucks age, those antlers also indicate the sex of a deer with very good certainty. As most on this site are well aware, I have killed more than a few bucks without protruding antlers, but not a single doe that had them. Since I process most of my own venison, I much prefer that it comes from bucks. They always have a lot less fat to trim, so I can get that job done faster. No one at my house likes that doe fat sticking to the roof of their mouth at dinner time, so I really have to go overboard on the trimming on does when they are included in our annual venison supply.

dbHunterNY Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 i've seen some really big deer taken by hunters i know. especially with the trend going on, we won't see them as often as in the past. bucks that big and old on huntable property won't live to see their potential. hell i'm hard pressed to pass a 140" buck at 3.5 yrs old that might have what it takes to grow into a Booner 2-3 years from then! Also deer numbers were higher years ago, which leads to a better chance you'll get a buck that wins that genetic lottery. i've held a 200+" free range booner buck and it was stupid big. i measured it's left G2 green at just under 17" long. I posted a Booner dead head on here and that was stupid big, let alone for this part of NY. I'll just enjoy what deer I can. I'm not lucky enough for a record book. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you are in the minority I think most guys are hunting for other reasons besides hunger . They may not be waiting to shoot a trophy but I don't think there hunting because they like venison over beef either . It's more of a sport to most people, The meats just a bonus. I would be willing to bet that if all the deer in the country developed some disease that made the meat poisonous or really taste bad . People would still hunt them anyway. Even if they couldn't consume them . Edited February 14, 2019 by Storm914 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will say its all about the meat and something about a mature buck tastes different then a young buck. But he also prides himself on killing baby button bucks so? I would also have to agree with ya on the hunting and not eating part, Some on here do it now. It would suck not being able to eat them but i know myself i would still be chasing trophy bucks.. But my minimum inches before killing may just have to be raised a few inches. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shortly before you discovered this site, a poll was conducted which indicated that meat was more important than antlers, with those who were able to make up their minds, by more than a 2:1 ratio. In the old days, meat was certainly more popular, but we did go though a period where antlers may have had an edge. Thankfully, those days are behind us now. That is indicated not only by that poll on this site, but also in the increasing polpularity of hunting shows like "Meateater" which stress the food aspect of hunting. Since FSW's livelihood depends on antlers, it is easy to see why he gets so upset when confronted with the reality of the waning importance of them.

Yup that's why the deer world revolves around antlers. Just like this post right here. Do you see pic's of any of your little 4 and 6 pointers on here? Negative. All about the bone! And trust me. My livelihood will never be affected by some poll on a hunting site. My hood is affected by 200 inch whitetails. Well for the last 22 years anyways.

I think it's a little more complex then that in today's world Let me ask you this could it be many are just being politically correct knowing that the none hunting public does not have a problem with meat hunting and do not understand hunting for sport at all or for the challenge of it . You go for the bigger older buck for the challenge of it . Meat is a afterthought. I think if people would be honest it's not just the meat there after when they hunt . Hunting anything is good time for people . It's in are DNA really . And for someone that has no big deer in his area a small one becomes the trophy anyway .
