Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting NY- Rifle Bill

Roy,don't forget you call hunt coyote at NIGHT with a rifle!

I referenced woofs above, day or night....

I heard one time, second hand but from a Virginia Game Biologist, that what we have here is the Eastern Red Wolf, not the "same" as the western 'yote, ours are larger and more woofish in nature...

Dunno if all that's the exact truth or not but "woofs" sounds cooler than "'yotes".

I'm just inspired to be a loud mouth, opinionated, Free American Voter.......

Things to do in NY State:

Lower the minimum age for youth hunters, or eliminate an age limit altogether. That's working in many other states.....

Extend deer season thru December for bucks and a doe season into January....in the Southern Zone.

Move Spring Gobbler up two weeks.....

Make it legal to kill coyotes year round....

Bring an Early Bear Season to the Southern Zone to run concurrent with the Northern Zones' Season....there's enough of 'em now.

Get the US Congress to pass/act on the invasive species act to help support the Great Lakes, and return them to being the great fishery they once were...

Now that we've elected Eliot the Idiot and allowed Pety Grannis to become the DEC commish, it's time to see that was a mistake and move towards getting rid of both of 'em ASAP....

Vote State Sen. Cathy Young back into office because she is a true friend of Sportsmen.

Fire Assemblyman Bill Parment because he is not.............

Excellent post!!!!

Yep--all good reasons not to live in NY.

I can say that I've never lived in New York but I've done 90% of my big game hunting there since I was 11 years old. It was so difficult for a kid to use an old birdgun for deer, so many misses .We just didn't know any better back then and there weren't any options anyways. Now they have super duper slug guns but I'm surprised I stayed with it now that I look back. Nowadays if you don't get your kid to score quick they may not pick up the sport ever. They'd rather be playing video games. The use of rifles would help bring back the hunters and continue the sport.

In my area hunting went so far south that we barely ever saw many hunters around anymore, opening day the first year they allowed rifle + saturday opener instead of Monday sounded like a war zone again just like it used to be 20+ years ago...I know it has boosted the sport again and they should do this throughout the state except maybe Long Island.

Amen

No ones ask'in ya Texans to move here anyhow....

They couldn't handle it anyway...

Anything below 75 degrees makes 'em bow up and freeze to death.

They'd hafta take the wheels off'n they's house too and we all know how that ticks off a Texan........

Easy now...

Mexicans is fewer though.

Heard ya'll havin' a good time with that.........

Laffin'......

Well Wildswalker if you ever run for office you've got my vote!! And as for William Parment I now know he's as useless as nipples on a chicken!!!

I grew up there until I was 20. Moving out was a good thing to do. Why not just get rid of the City, and start a real state?!

After moving around the country for awhile, and then settling in the Dakotas, the amount of non-freedom in NYS is appalling. Going back for a visit feels like entering a communist country or something. And everyone just tolerates it because they're used to it. Not for me anymore.

Only certain parts.

Us hillbillies ain't too bad off...............

It's official, William Parment wimped out again, he lied to the hunters of Chautauqua County by saying rifle hunting was gonna pass but in an article in the Dunkirk Evening Observer today he admitted that it's not gonna pass and he is'nt gonna let it pass until the sportsman and hunters can convince the public that it's the right thing to do???? Are you kidding me??? Since when is it up to the hunters to convince anti's that what we do is ok? Why should'nt those rat bastards have to convince us that rifle hunting is not good? Why is Parment putting the anti's beliefs before ours? He even admitted that those opposed are way out numbered, and the hunters that are for rifles were alot more organized. So what's the problem??? Parment likes to play both sides and his word means nothing!!! I don't know about the rest of you but I no longer support Parment, and I think it's up to the hunters of this county to let him know how you feel. his e-mail is parmenwassembly.state.ny.us I plan on reminding him every chance I get of how pissed I am.

Got a link to that article, I got a [bleep] storm to start.......

Oh yeah, PM is inbound.

Found it....

The Observer

Does anyone know if Spitzer has the signed the bill for Steuben, Chemung and Yates, yet..??

The paper last week said he signed 132 pieces of legislation into law...Wonder if the rifle bill is one of them...

It was delivered to him on July 6, but I don't know if it's been signed.
