I already have property in another country and its filled with boar, wild pheasant chukar, woodcock and quail. I would get my property with in region 3 because of the convenience.
Welcome! I'm also from NYC so I know a little about the rifle and shotgun permit. I'm not sure how a minor arrest is going to affect your chances but I know for a fact that it will cause them to think for a little while at the least. Call 1 PP and talk to them about it.
I was told that the DEC gave permission to use the yellow tags. Then i was told that i may get harassed by the DEC but the tags are legal so its nothing to worry about.
I went today with my father and we both got the doe tags we wanted. It was a 2 hour wait becuase the system kept freezing on the guys. I was told that they were given the green light to use the old yellow tags. Hopefully ill get my lifetime tags tomorrow.
