13 Wham reported this morning that the youth season was taking place...it caught my eye because you usually don't hear about hunting news on the actual news...
Just goes to show how much confusion there is on it...phew!

I just talked to a guy planning to take his kid hunting during the special youth gun hunt in October. He saw it passed on TV. These guys won't bother checking the regulations so they will be out there.

This is crazy! You don't know who or what to believe!?!? I would "think" if the news is reporting it, and if it wasn't 100% certain yet, the DEC would immediately issue a disclaimer or something??

Interesting that WNY hasn't received an response yet. Believe it was on the goveners desk, but wasn't there a time limit for signing?

The guy I emailed can take a week or so to get back to me sometimes, but he always ends up giving me good info.

What is going on
?!?!?...Just got the NYODN and the front page say the youth hunt doesn't look good...do to a bill that says no guns are to be allowed during archery seasons...making the youth hunt null and void...illegal actually
This is really an embarrassment when the DEC would allow miss information out to the public in such a manner as to thoroughly confuse the population...is there no one in charge of public relations/media?

What the bill says exactly is this...
"8. The only junior hunter days for big game hunting the department of environmental conservation may authorize during archery seasons are junior archery days."
The bill has yet to actually pass and be put into law.

this is what the article in ODN said...
"When state law makers approved legislation limiting crossbow use to the regular firearms and late muzzle loader deer seasons, the bill carried with it a clause prohibiting firearms use during the regular archery season.

I think the clause intent is for firearms use for deer hunting...not small game.

I would tend to agree but there are always some screwy technicalities that would change the meaning .

This is a terrible display of work by the DEC.
They really should be ashamed.

Actually the DEC is in a rock and a hard place. They literally cannot say too much.
The DEC wants the youth season, but their power could be trumped. The bill/law that kills it is pending...so they can't comment on it, other than to say they will comply, which they have done.
They simply cannot tell the public anything because they don't know the final result. Blabbing about it is a political game killer for them...biting the hand that feeds is a no-no.

I would think Channel 13 would have to check their source before going to air...so where do you think they got their info from? The same can be said for NYODN...where did they get their info...two conflicting story's about the same thing
With the DEC sending out E-mails on season dates and not even mentioning a youth hunt
