Upstate NY road kill

My dad just emailed me this pic from back east.
This buck was killed just down the road from my grandfather's house a few weeks ago. This would be in the Catskill Mountains about 40 miles south of Albany.

  Wow that is a monster. A shame he went that way.

   Very nice buck. 

I sense an organization from here has started doing to the NY herds what it has and is still currently being done to the elk/deer herds here.  Coincidence?  Maybe, but the leading member of an organization that instrumentated the demise here and then moved and all of a sudden deer start dropping in NY?  I wonder who's living in NY now that would cause such trophy animals to start being targets...........................

that is some serious mass on that toad, i read a book about a boy in the catskill mountains, it was called "my side of the mountain" good book, anyways can they keep road kill back east like they can in like alabama or luisianna or one of those southern states  , all i know is it would be sweet to be able to have that hardware

Good point, I had not considered that angle but I bet you are right on point. Sad that he is making this a national epidemic.

Ssssh you don't know anything. Me living in the same state as this incident is just circumstantial evidence.  Here is a buck I will be chasing next year. The other pic is one my neighbor killed about 60yds behind my house.  There are some stud bucks in NY.

Had a boss in drum that put the word out that if you hit a deer to call him and get the roadkill tag from the trooper. He rescinded that statement 2 weeks later when his outdoor garage ran out of room to hang and store deer.

We used to be "on call" to go pick up road kills. My good friend's dad is a big cat and predator expert and he had big cats and bears and stuff at his house. He'd feed the deer to the cats and bears.

We'd butcher a lot of venison at his place between the road kills and the deer we killed hunting his place. All we needed was a trooper to give us the green light and we'd take all we could get for Andrew.
