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.

:yike: Wow that is a monster. A shame he went that way.
:yeah: 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........................... :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle:

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. :'(:yike: Wow that is a monster. A shame he went that way.

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 He rescinded that statement 2 weeks later when his outdoor garage ran out of room to hang and store deer. :chuckle:
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.
This is him:

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.
