NYS DEP Big Game Biologist Jeremy Hurst recently sent me an email to let me know that the DEC has recently updated their website to include more information about antler restrictions in New York.

The page includes the DEC's position regarding antler restrictions, a brief summary of buck harvest and hunter survey results from the pilot antler restriction units (WMUs 3C, 3H, 3J, and 3K), and links to relevant surveys. The DEC anticipates completing a more thorough summary of harvest trends from the pilot area after harvest calculations are finalized for the 2008 hunting seasons.
