New York does not manage the deer herd for hunters, they manage it for insurance companies. I doubt anyone travels to New York for deer hunting. If you want to see really dismal hunting, try the Adirondacks!
Been that way for to long. Then they don't want us feeding them in the winter and let the weaker and the ones run ragged through hunting season die. A few 1000 pound round bales of alfalfa or soybean helps many of them. 20 years ago I was feeding 80-100 every year and when the number started dropping it dropped fast, down to only about 10 now. Another big killer is the nuisance permits and doe tags.
