Deer populations are extremely sparse in the wilderness areas of both the Adirondacks and the Catskills. I seriously doubt filling a tag gets much tougher anywhere when you're dealing with deer densities of less than 1 psm in an unbroken, heavily forested 10,000 - 192,000 acre tract of state land.

They are sparse compared to most places. I usually have 14-16 days to hunt in a season and have multiple opportunities to fill a tag each year. I have managed to kill deer every year since the mid 70's. If I were to fail this year I wouldn't starve and I already have more racks than wall space to hang them on so no big deal.
