I've never thought it a good idea to ask during the season and especially not when dressed in hunting clothes, maybe wait till the off season and knock on the door.......

found the answer, gotta be recorded when you get it.

do you write the # of the DMP someone signs over to you on your license when you take possession of it or only if you actually fill it?

the guns themselves aren't dangerous, it's the people who use them and the manner in which they're used that makes them dangerous...........

to say you can't be arrested for DWI on private property is laughable, let's see....Home Depot, Wal Mart, etc, all private property, but somehow you can be issued tickets for parking in Handicapped spots and fire zones.......how do you explain that?

care to share how you definitely know and why anyone should trust your advice? since you say WNYBUCK is dead wrong it would be interesting to know how you're 100% right.

yes, all you need to have is physical control over the vehicle, having the key's with you satisfies that.....don't matter if you hide em under the seat, stick em in your pocket or whatever...and pulling off into a parking lot won't help you either.

not too get off topic, but last year's deer take on Long Island during the shotgun season was down........DEC said it was because the deer are in people's yards, not in the woods.

that's one of the reason's I'm thrilled that NYC DEP is buying up loads of property around where I hunt and allowing hunting access to it........it's not making the real estate broker's too happy, but I could care less.

4R, saw alot of deer around during archery, with quite a few bucks in the mix.........the new antler restrictions played a part in my not taking a deer during archery...........rifle hunting has been pretty slow, my guess is not due to the lack of deer but to the lack of or timing of their movement.

and for what it's worth, I certainly wouldn't live by that advice.

I think he's already considered all the advice and options and made his purchase.....

and knowing your surroundings and what may be in your line of fire is much more important than the 500' rule as far as safety goes.........

I've got a few spots that are just over 500' away from a house or two, I actually checked with my rangefinder to make sure........should I not hunt these spots because someone may see me and not like it? I don't think so........if the hunter in the original post is actually 500' away from your house and does have permission from the houses he's closer too, and is making sure of his backstop and not shooting recklessly, can you really tell him he can't hunt there? all you can really tell him is to stay off your property.....if he is shooting too close to the other houses without permission and is shooting recklessly, report him before a tragedy happens......and if it were me, I'd keep my kids inside if this guy is shooting anywhere near where they play.

so you're saying if someone is slumped over the wheel drunk in a private parking lot, they can't be arrested for dwi?

somehow I don't see the connection between police training and deer hunting............

my insurance company had the vin #'s wrong for one of my vehicles, they notified DMV who notified me of a problem with my insurance co. and if not corrected could result in a suspension...........I corrected it asap and avoided any problems.

if he only went 40 yards after the shot and bedded, chances are it's more than a flesh wound..............leave him as long as you can.

unless you hit them in the jaw..I've seen that and it wasn't pretty, was quite the tracking job as well.

just saw a set of choke tubes sold on ebay, so they're out there.....had the same gun from my grandfather, not an old gun as far as old goes......if you can get the chokes use it.only problem was it shot way off from point of aim.

oh, and forgot to add that I avoid NYC at any cost.

been checked while hunting, fishing, at roadblocks, got letters from DMV that my registration was about to be suspended you name it, took care of any potential problem right away and always had my stuff squared away, and have always been respectful.that should pretty much avoid any problems.

nope, never had to....keep myself in compliance with the law's.....and I've had more than my share of interaction with law enforcement.

well said, and it's funny how the guy's who claim to have been wrongly charged still find themselves involved in long court battles....probably because they don't have proof of their innocence and keep grabbing at straws.
