Happy Easter everyone. Out of state visiting the family this spring break and was thinking about something. What if my father wanted to buy a "Ar15" and then gift it to me to bring home to NY? Any thoughts on this? I really am not sure the legality of it...even if I lived somewhere besides NY. Not like I plan on complying with registering any firearms with NY. Just thinking out loud...right now.

I see there is a new caller; the Icotec GC300 that sells for less than $80.00 bucks. Has anyone tried one out? Are they worth it? I read they are compareable to the Foxpro Widfire....? I know they come with a wireless remote with 300yd range; preprogrammed with a dozen calls. Just wonder if anyone has used one before I buy one on ebay.

Thanks for all of the great info. I will PM you.

Ok. February 2nd is no good. I just spoke to a rep about obtaining a permit. She said the City of Rochester does not even have their permits for 2013 prepared yet. I was considering March 2nd. They want 3-4 weeks notice. The Rochester Sportsman show is March 1-3. That could be good for a rally since many people would be coming to Rochester for the show. Maybe they would participate before or after going to the show at the Dome.

Already working on it! I would love to see a rally in Rochester at the Liberty Pole. Just called the city trying to get info on obtaining a permit. Answering machine...I left my message. A rally to Save the Second, on the second. 2-2-13 Liberty Pole would be symbolic, but I wonder if another public place would be more convenient. Open to any suggestions on a location or other ideas.

Thanks. Looking for one in Rochester. ....

That's awesome! When & where is the next protest? I wonder if any are planned for Syracuse this coming weekend...during the NY Sportsman Expo?

Sorry for bringing up an old thread guys...but I just came acroos the post when I was doing some DeerSearch Googling. I am a member of Deer Search Finger Lakes Chapter. First, I apologize to the hunter that called and did not get an immeadiate response. I am willing to bet that someone followed up with a phone call within a few days after your shot. We do try to call everyone back. Most Deer Search members are working full-time and trying to hunt and track for other hunters in their free time. We are always looking for new members...and especially in Onandaga County. Secondly, I would like to share a photo to help some hunters better understand the location of a deer's spine. I saw the still shot that this hunter posted and I would guess that buck survived. These are not my photos, but were emailed to me for refrence and educational purpose. Take notice how low the spine is...now add the hide and hair to that! The straw is where the arrow passed through. Here is what a shot from a tree stand may look like if it hits too high. So, there you go. Hope it helps someone in the future. Speaking of help; anyone interested in becoming a member of Deer Search please go here... http://deersearch.org/joining-deer-search/ Thanks.

But if it becomes a right then hunting and fishing in NY will always be afforded to us. If it is a privilege, could we someday lose that privilege? If the Right to Bear Arms (federal i know) was only a privilege, would we have our firearms today? Use freedom of speech as a example instead. If it were a privilege, could we speak without fear of repercussions? I just wrote the DEC commissioner too. Just letting him know that I am in favor of this bill. It may not grant us anything more than what we already have but, it would ensure that we would always retain the right to hunt.

I just wrote State Senator Nozzolio. His name is one of the ones that appears on the bill and I live in his district. I thanked him for the proposal of this bill. Today was the first I heard of this. Like I said, I stumbled across it. I only hope that there was enough chatter, hublub and support to get it signed. Maybe we should write to our State Reps. and the DEC....Maybe it is not too late to get it passed.

I have not heard enough about this Bill and stumbled upon it. I have always disagreed with the word "privilege" on my hunting license. I am in favor of this becoming a Right in our state's constitution. http://open.nysenate.gov/legislation/bill/S2382-2011
