MACHINIST

I cant stand that they just change stuff and give the public no say about it

OK disclaimer here,what you are about to read may be offensive so if you are a very PC type of person dont go any farther and now for the rest of us read this DON CHERRY, Canadian Hockey Commentator for CBC Television, was asked on a local live radio talk show, what he thought about the allegations of torture of suspected terrorists. His reply prompted his ejection from the studio, but to thunderous applause from the audience. HIS STATEMENT: "If hooking up one rag head terrorist prisoner's testicles to a car battery to get the truth out of the lying little camel shagger will save just one Canadian life, then I have only three things to say: "Red is positive, black is negative, and make sure his nuts are wet."

No he is getting NYS sportsmen a discount because we are going to have a big insurance bill when the million dollar plan comes through.Friggin moron!!!!

That has to be grounds for a refund of sorts I would think.This skank Andy keeps doing stuff without thinking about it.Use the extra money to fix things for us hunters.Keep all of this in mind guys when the next election comes in.I would vote for a frickin dead guy before voting for him!!

You watch,he is going to go on a campaign that will try and make us all feel better about his so he can get reelected.He isn't fooling me,he doesn't give 2 drops of crap about us or NYS for that matter.He tried to MAKE the state and its population do what HE wanted.A message needs to be sent that we aren't going to get fooled by this.I also bought my Lifetime right before the hike and so did a lot of people,they should be just as pissed as we are.

Bingo,I think they do good but they should only be called in after the local authorities have a chance to asses the situation

I made the font bigger because it was tough to see.Sounds like some good things but I think he is just trying to win the hearts of the hunters in NY because he knows he has seriously F'ed up with the gun owners in this state so he is trying to get back in our good graces through our pockets.Screw him,he can go bury himself in a cave. Dont let him pull the wool over your eyes..This J.O. needs to look at the rest of the ridiculous spending this state does,I am sorry but I think this really doesn't warrant his time in light of other thing that he should be focussing on as our Governor.I realize that this could be a big savings to us but he is playing the old swictheroo on us,don't fall for it.

Governor Andrew M. Cuomo today announced NY Open for Fishing and Hunting, a plan to streamline hunting and fishing licenses and reduce license fees to support tourism opportunities and benefit sportsmen and sportswomen throughout the state. The proposal is part of the 30-day amendments to the 2013-14 Executive Budget and would reduce fees paid by hundreds of thousands of hunters, anglers and trappers while maintaining support for the state’s fish and wildlife programs. The proposal simplifies the current license structure to foster recruitment and retention of resident and non-resident hunters, anglers and trappers. The State would greatly reduce the number of licenses offered and lower many fees for both resident and non-resident holders under the proposal. The proposal also will make permanent a free marine fishing registration, which was scheduled to expire at the end of 2013. “I know the recreational and economic value hunting and fishing bring to New York State,” Governor Cuomo said. “The sporting community bolsters tourism across the state. According to a national survey, more than $8.1 billion of economic activity is created as a result of sporting activity in New York. Under my proposal, it will be easier for more New Yorkers and visitors from across the country to take advantage of New York’s rich sporting tradition.” The current license process is confusing due to the number, type and potential combinations of hunting and fishing licenses. In addition, fees are presently higher in New York than in many neighboring and comparable states. The proposal would: ·Reduce by 11 the number of licenses available while maintaining all current hunting and fishing privileges and opportunities ·Reduce the price of a hunting license by 24 percent from $29 to $22 ·Reduce the price of a fishing license by nearly 14 percent from $29 to $25 ·Make fishing licenses valid for one year from the date of purchase ·Create a non-resident license structure which is the same as the resident license structure ·Fold trapping privileges into the hunting license for no additional fee for certified trappers ·Maintain Junior Trapper and Trapper Mentor opportunities ·Reduce fees for non-resident hunting and fishing licenses to attract more out-of-state participants ·Retain discounted licenses for youth, seniors, military disabled and Native Americans. License Current Proposed NYS Residents Annual Fishing License $29 $25 Annual Hunting License $29 $22 Annual Bow Hunting Privilege $21 $20 Annual Muzzleloading $21 $11 Out-of-State Residents Annual Fishing License $70 $50 Annual Hunting License $140 $100 Annual Bow Hunting Privilege $140 $40 Annual Muzzleloading $140 $30 One-day Turkey $50 $20 One-day Fishing $15 $10 Previously, a fishing license was only valid from the date of purchase through the end of the season, and anglers who bought a license in mid season did not get a full year’s worth of use. Under the new plan, anglers will get a full year of fishing no matter when they purchase the license. Also, the proposal consolidates both small-game and big-game license privileges into a single hunting license. In addition, the proposal creates a non-resident license structure which affords the same license privileges as resident licenses. The proposal also makes the marine fishing registration permanent. It was scheduled to sunset on December 31, 2013, which would have required anglers fishing in the marine district to purchase a license for $10. Under Governor Cuomo's bill, marine fishing will continue to be free. New York State Department of Environment Conservation Commissioner Joe Martens said, “Hunters and anglers are the foundation of the state’s conservation community, concerned about caring for the state’s habitats, forestland and waterways. Governor Cuomo’s proposal will make it simpler for people to purchase licenses, help attract newcomers to hunt and fish in New York and ensure that the programs that the hunting and fishing communities enjoy continue to be funded.” In addition, DEC has made substantial progress in both the rehabilitation of existing boat launch facilities and construction of new facilities. By the start of the 2013 boating season, five new boat launching facilities will be open: Chaumont Bay and Point Peninsula Isthmus on Lake Ontario, Upper Hudson River in Fort Edward, Lake Champlain in the City of Plattsburgh, and Cuba Lake Boat Launch in Allegany County. Work is underway for a boat launch on Round Lake in Saratoga County. Significant boat launch rehabilitation efforts include: the complete upgrade of the "Crusher" Boat Launch of the Raquette River and lengthening of the Horicon launch ramp on Schroon Lake. Plans are underway for expansion of the Second Pond boat launch on Lower Saranac Lake, repairs to the Peru Boat Launch site on Lake Champlain, reconstruction of the Northville launch ramp, and installation of a new boarding dock at the Saratoga County Boat Launch, both on Great Sacandaga Lake. Governor Cuomo’s proposal aims to improve New York’s position as a destination for both resident and out-of-state hunters. According to a 2011 National Survey of Fishing, Hunting and Wildlife-Related Recreation, over 90 million U.S. residents ages 16 years and older participated in some form of wildlife-related recreation in 2011. Wildlife recreationists spent about $145 billion on their ventures. Moreover, New York State remains near the top in hunter and angler licenses, an estimated 1.88 million anglers and 823,000 hunters, indicating a mostly stable group of participants. The same study found in 2011 New York was second in the nation in total angler spending on fishing-related items and sixth in non-resident angler spending. This spending generated an estimated $108 million in state and local taxes. In 2011, New York was fourth in the nation in spending by hunters and generated an estimated $290 million in state and local taxes. New York ranks third in the nation in total number of resident hunters. While providing relief to sportsmen and sportswomen, this proposal will ensure that the Conservation Fund remains solvent through the financial plan (State Fiscal Year 2018-19). New York will continue to provide services, programs and projects to boost hunting and fishing opportunities. The State will also be working closely with the conservation community in the coming months to identify projects to enhance hunting and fishing access and improve wildlife habitat. Jason Kemper, Chair, Conservation Fund Advisory Board, said, “The Conservation Fund Advisory Board is very pleased that the Governor has decided to simplify the sporting license structure and reduce some of the fees associated with these licenses. CFAB is confident that these actions will increase participation in hunting, fishing, and trapping in New York State which will continue to enhance the positive economic impact to the State of New York that these activities generate.” Lance Robson, Chair, New York State Fish & Wildlife Management Board, said, “The Board welcomes the simplification of the existing license structure and the reduction of the fees for most of the sporting public. This plan will make participating in hunting, fishing and trapping more affordable while continuing to provide the funds, now and going forward, to continue or even expand our current fish, wildlife and habitat management programs.” Chuck Parker, President, New York State Conservation Council, said, “From the feedback that I have received as President of the New York State Conservation Council, I would like to report that the Council is glad to see the proposal of a simpler license structure system as presented by DEC and the Governor’s Office and endorsed by the Conservation Fund Advisory Board. With the simpler license fee system there should be an increase in numbers and participation of hunters, fishermen, and trappers while still yielding a very positive economic impact to the NYS Conservation Fund, which should lead to increase funding possibilities being proposed.” Ron Urban, President of Catskill Mountains Chapter of Trout Unlimited, said, "The Governor's proposal is good for all anglers by reducing fees and making licenses simpler. Moreover, it increases recreational experiences on New York's waters. We have great natural resources in this state and this proposal will encourage people to get out and enjoy New York." Tom Marks, Captain and Owner, Gr8 Lakes Fishing Adventures, said, “The Governor's proposal is great for tourism. It will help attract people to New York State. I view the state’s fish and wildlife as a gold mine and this proposal will remove impediments to bringing tourists to New York.” David Turner, Director of Oswego County Office of Community Development, Tourism and Planning, said, “Oswego County and New York State are blessed with an abundance of natural resources that inspire visitors from around the world. Simplifying the licensing system and reducing the fees is sure to help make our visitors experiences here even more enjoyable. The annual fishing license date-of-purchase proposal is will likely help to increase angler activity throughout the state. We are pleased the Governor and the DEC are proposing to make it easier and less expensive for outdoor enthusiasts to enjoy all that we have to offer.” Tony DiLernia, Captain Rocket Charters NY-delegate to MASFMC and Director of Maritime technology at Kingsborough Community College, said, "In announcing the proposal to make the free marine fishing registration permanent, Governor Cuomo is following through on his commitment that some things in life should be free, including fishing in the ocean. This is an example of government providing a service to New Yorkers without taxing for it."

We need more info.I listen to Lonsberry but didnt get a chance o today.As long as they dont mess with the deer #'s more than they already are I would listen to what they have to say.I would be for a longer Turkey season(spring) and a year round Coyote season.

I have seen turkeys in the cornfield behind my house fanned out every week since deer season has closed.I fell its like a buck grunting.They do what they do,but when its time they will be really ready

ME

29 inch draw.New string last year,shoots great its just time for a new bow.The only thing that is wrong is some of the bolts have a little rust on the heads,if needs be I will get the pro shop to switch them out with new bolts.Selling bare bow for $450.00

Yes sir!!!

Just what he said.If they are they first people to start this they stand to make alot of money.

I have been shooting a bunch of new bows.I did shoot the creed but so far I am leaning towards the PSE Dream Season DNA.CLose seconds are Elite Answer and the Strother Rush XT.I have never liked a Mathews grip but the creed shot nice also.Very little hand shock and just a bit more rollover than the other 3 bows I am considering.

Good deal!!

good job!!

Not that I like to see this but they are smart to do it from a business standpoint.If they are the only ones making them then they have cornered the market first.Even if others follow they will have the upper hand with time on their side.

Here is a form you have to sign and mail out to your county clerk to make your info not accessible to the public.You need to do this soon (within 60 from what I was told to make the deadline) before your info is accessible. http://www.troopers.ny.gov/Firearms/Public_Records_Exemption/

I have been emailing thank you letters to all that have done this.please do the same and show them the support they deserve for fighting for our way of life.

All sold.Not to bad for a light that cant see past 60 yards.Mods can lock this up before it gets to crazy here

I believe the fox I shot a few weeks back at 160 yards and also the coyote my friend shot at over 200.If you dont want to buy a light then don't. I don't see why you are running me down,and anyone that buys these lights will flat out laugh in your face when they shine anything over 100 yards when you say 60 or less.

Good company!!

Lottery scratchers here I come baby!!!HAHAHA
