That is you and me,...not the other Million or so hunters,.....
Let`s look at it this way,....
In 2005 you probly filled your tag,...in 2006 you no longer "Haul" your deer ot turkey to a "Check Station", instead you take it home and hang it,...and call from home to let the DEC or DNR know you made a harvest,....LEGALLY.

But let`s say that there is 350,000 more hunters who do that as well,....but there`s let`s say 50,000 more who dont?!
Now in 2007 you arent seeing the deer activity you seen the past 2 years,...and then 2008 comes up and now deer are rarely even seen,....Now do u get what I am talking about?
NY has that problem,.....over hunting cause there are those who don`t hunt legally or ethicially.And now they dont have to "Haul" there harvest to a "Check Station", instead they can "Haul" it home and not make the call.

And before it is even said,...not everyone is into mounting their heads,..you can purchase a antler mounting kit for alot less then having a textadermist do the mounting and having a number to show that it was a legal kill.

This is why I oppose such methods ,they are unethicial, and very bias as to the hunter who feels that now he can hunt all he wants until ,.whenever!

I mean while the DEC and or the DNR are at it , why not just allow everyone to hunt whenever,wherever, for however long they want?!

There has to be guide lines, and rules,..if the guide lines are not in place,..then rules are just words and nothing more.
As I have said before not everyone is an unethical or should I say poacher,..but why make it easier for those that are?!!

I can only say this,...in closing,...I hope that the "Honor System" works in Maryland,..and or anyother state considering that option,...but I can tell you all this,..NY is paying for it big time,..I am talking about NY hunters,...and yes the deer herd itself.

If you don`t believe ,.talk to some public land hunters,not lease land hunters,....but then again ask them if the deer herd in NY is shrinking,...I think you`ll change your views,..and in a year or 2 ,..you will be made to change your views due to the simple fact that you won`t enjoy hunting as much if you don`t have anything to hunt.

Later ALL
SAFE HUNTIN~
