Rack from Hall deer is one of the largest taken in New York state A panel of scoring/measuring judges determined Jan. 18 that the antler rack of a whitetail buck taken last season by Chris Olsen of Penn Yan is one of the largest taken in all of New York State ever. Harvested near Hall in Ontario County last Novem ber, the rack was judged in the typical category to be the fourth largest in New York since official measuring began in the late 1800s. The official measuring was done by Northeast Big Buck Club N.Y. Director Andy Hall, N.Y.S. Big Buck Club Official Measurer Rob Ayers, and Boone & Crockett Club Official Measurer Tim Spacek at the shop of Spa cek ’ s late father, renowned local sportsman and out door sports writer, Charlie Spacek, here in Penn Yan. “ What makes this deer ’ s score so special is that it is not a ‘ Non-Typical Deer ’ (with an abnormally shaped rack), ” says Tim Spacek, “ it is a ‘ Typical Deer ’ (normal ly shaped rack) which makes it very hard to reach such high scoring numbers as it did. ” Spacek believes this may be the largest taken in all the state in 2019, and confirms it is the largest typical buck ever taken in Ontario County Midwife pleads not guilty to 95 counts in Yates County Court PENN YAN — As a crowd of about 100 including a documentary film crew watched, Elizabeth Catlin, 54, of Penn Yan, Tuesday entered a plea of not guilty to all 95 felony counts leveled against her in relation to as sisting women with in home births when she appeared ,in Yates County Court.
