  1. Actually, the past year some of the 11 states have modified Sunday bans. However, we believe in Sunday hunting for all, not just bow hunters and/or private land owners. In addition to our dove effort in NY, we also are engaged in reforming Sunday, public land, firearm hunting bans. We ask persons who buy New Jersey non-resident as well as resident hunting licenses to sign our petition. If you are a non resident, include in the comments that you buy a NJ non-resident hunting licence. And, as always, inform others in your personal network about this petition and the website NJ Sunday Hunting For All. Here is the link to this petition: http://newjerseysundayhuntingforall.weebly.com/sign-the-petition-to-allow-sunday-firearm-hunting.html
  2. Here is a map depicting the distribution of signatures as of November 28, 2015. Also attached for comparison is the distribution map up to September 18, 2015. When we published the September 18, 2015 map, we called everyone's attention to the "bald spots". As you can see there has been a response and improvement, however, certain areas are still lagging. Of course, some of the bald spots cover the Adirondack and Catskill Parks, and other areas where few or no people live. Even prior to September 18, 2015, we stepped up efforts in the Lower Hudson Valley, NYC, and Long Island. These regions carry the most weight in the NY State Assembly, and cooperation form Assembly members in those regions is important to the success of this initiative. As evinced on the map, the response in these regions has been very good! We still have a ways to go and we urge everyone to maintain all the stamina they can muster and keep pushing!
  3. Last year the DEC opened its revised mute swan plan for public comment. Little or none of the actions set forth in this plan required legislative approval. The public comment period was open for 45 days and the DEC received over 8,000 comments, mostly from animal rights advocates. NY Dove Hunting submitted comment, wrote the Legislature, the DEC, and the Governor. Before the public comment period was completed, Senator Avella and Assemblyman Cybrowitz put pressure on the DEC by introducing legislation which would prevent the DEC from implementing its mute swan strategies. Defying all common sense, this bill passed with only 25 legislators voting against it - all from the assembly; which means the entire republican majority senate also voted anti DEC. NY Dove Hunting than created a petition which was signed by about 350 persons. We submitted the petition to the governor, along with video evidence of the impacts of mute swans. In December 2015, Governor Cuomo did indeed VETO the legislation. However Avella and Cybrowitz were not willing to take no for an answer. They reintroduced the bill, with minor modifications (* see below), and it passed again. We are in the process of verifying the vote, to determine how many legislators changed their vote the second time around. We believe (ONE) senator (may) have voted against the bill the second time.Check our websites at a latter date for this information. The second bill was also VETOED by Cuomo earlier this week. Cuomo's veto message for the second bill was: "The circumstances that necessitated my disapproval have not changed". (*) 1. Prioritize non-lethal methods when dealing with mute swans 2. DEC must hold a MINIMUM of two public hearings before taking any action.
  4. As most of you know the anti-pheasant movement includes some hunters , including some who then turn around and tout the proverbial hunters should stick together. We (NY Dove Hunting and The Bird Hunting Society) have published counter arguments to this distortion of the facts. We are currently working on a series of reports about the matter. As a prelude to these reports, I want to share with you some of the photos we will be using and introduce the claim made made by antis (including hunters or people pretending to be hunters or paid google trolls drumming up hits for advertising - sporting gun, camo, and dead things complete). Anybody who has actually killed game birds, rather than just talks about it (or how easy they are), examines crop contents.... Here are a few, more to come....Stay tuned for series of reports........ http://thebirdhuntingsociety.weebly.com/bird-crops.html
  5. From the DEC Facebook page: we replied as The Bird Hunting Society. Please read our response and help us tell the antis how it is. For those that do not follow the DEC on Facebook, please start, the hunting community is outnumbered on the DEC page. Please don't be rude, just read the article we refered to, take one or two talking points from it for use in your own comment. Please like our two replies and our pages. Thank you! https://www.facebook.com/NYSDEC/photos/a.10150117710380956.294616.65102420955/10153749772060956/?type=3&theater
  6. Manitoba might join two other Providences, Puerto Rico, and 41 US states (including Hawaii) in 2016: http://nydovehunting.weebly.com/manitoba-considering-a-mourning-dove-season.html
  7. We have been sending regular emails for some time. There are a lot of problems with that, one of which is only a few dozen messages can be sent at one time. We designed a newsletter to be palatable to a broader audience with short messages. And these can be sent in bulk. Here is a link to our first one published two days ago: http://us11.campaign-archive2.com/?u=8116d31e9eac14600f1871d1e&id=72977b0745
  8. Check out our progress map at the link below! The Gaps show where we need to step up our effort! Contact the hunting organizations and writers of outdoor columns in those areas! The Blue represents the efforts of Brett B. and the Green the efforts of Bob R. ("Culvercreek HC"). Imagine if 10, 20, or 50 people worked at this like Brett! http://nydovehunting.weebly.com/map-of-dove-hunting-petition-signatures-91815.html
  9. Please sign and get the word out. This is a long-term effort to gather 10,000 signatures. http://nydovehunting.weebly.com/petition.html

  11. We get a lot of update inquiries. Not only is our petition growing, but so is our reach, and the word is getting out. However, the first thing we need to stress; is that this is a long-term effort that may take years. Not only is the word getting out, but much more cooperation has been fostered and more people have become informed about the matter. However, there still are many who are not caught up and need to be educated about the same elements. The outdoor media has begun to show interest in the topic as well. We are still struggling with some of them, however, because they want to focus on who NY Dove Hunting is and/or other people who have pushed for dove hunting in the past, and how difficult it is, etc.… We appreciate and need the press, however, it has not always been beneficial or as beneficial as it could be. Basically the message we need is sign the petition, visit our website to educate yourself on the matter, and follow us on social media for updates. We also need the media to push for volunteers and donations. The NY Dove Hunting advertisement on page 50 of the NY Hunting and Trapping Regulations Guide seems to be productive. Next year we want to run a full page ad or two small ads. To do this we need donations. Checks are made out to J.F. Griffin Publishing and mailed to NY Dove Hunting. For our mailing address, contact us through our website. We hope to raise $3,000 to cover a full page advertisement. Our National Hunting and Fishing Day strategy did not get off the ground this year, but we are hopeful for next year. We need volunteers to run booths at various hunting expos handing out literature, answering questions, and gathering petitions on the spot. When this gets off the ground, the movement will advance at a much, much faster pace. Those booths and literature cost money, and it would even be better if volunteers paid for them and/or gathered their own donations as much as possible. Although someone else might seek legislation, NY Dove Hunting has no plans to do so until we have gathered what we hope is sufficient petition signatures. We set the goal at 10,000. Currently we are getting signatures every day, but in the event we plateau, and the response is not revived with advertising, blogging, etc. we might settle on less than 10,000. However, we probably could get that amount over National Hunting and Fishing Day alone; once that gets off the ground. Out of around 1,090 Facebook followers, only about 90 have signed the petition. Facebook throttles pages to only 4% of their followers. With paid advertising, they allow us to reach only 7%. So if you know anyone on our page, tag them or otherwise contact them, don’t assume they are getting our feed because you did. As a page, we cannot contact them directly either, as you can with friends on a personal page. Sharing our posts on hunting-related facebook groups you belong to (or can join if you do not belong to any) which are specific to NY will help greatly. Any other way each of you can reach out is needed as well. On our website we have not only petition forms you can print out and return to us, but literature and targets with our web address on them. Placing these targets at your shooting range, particularly when people are sighting in for deer season, muzzleloader, rifle, or shotgun, will get word out and remembered. If everyone invests a few of their own dollars and prints these out and makes them available where hunters gather, it would help the movement further.
  12. Not too long ago, two county federations have passed resolutions to seek a dove hunting season and/or reclassification of the mourning dove, a third county federation passed a resolution to request the DEC surveys small game hunters on the matter. We are unclear about what we are reading, but it sounds like the NY State Conservation Council has been on and off in its support, and the last word in 2014 is that they are on board. Additionally there are a couple of "interesting" details. For example, the NYSCC's small game committee disapproved Onondaga's resolution in 2008 requesting the DEC surveys small game hunters about the matter - read about the reason given. There is also a mention of what sounds like the NYSCC's change of heart about the matter in 2005. Lets be crystal clear: We did not write this, we are reporting it. We don't understand the comment made referencing the NYSCC's stance in 2005. As a matter of fact, we would like to be filled in better about all this ourselves, and it probably would be useful as we continue to analyze the dove situation from the past to present. There also seems to be 13 people from Onondaga county we would like to learn about.... Read about it: http://nydovehunting.weebly.com/new-york-state-conservation-council-dove-hunting-resolution.html

  14. In NY, there were 47 plane collision strikes with mourning doves between 6/29/12 and 1/16/15. #SigntheNYDHpetition #NYDoveHunting #DovesareDelicious An FYF (for your fodder) post. Recycling and re-tweeting appreciated....
  15. We are also on google plus, facebook, twitter, and you tube and you can go directly to these sites off of our website. You should be on one or all of these too. If you are you can develop your own online network of hunters and distribute our materiel by using "share buttons". Additionally, every time you "like" one of our posts its distribution is increased among the greater online hunting community. Hunting season starts in eight days, so you will not be hearing from us as frequently for some time. However, we have scheduled a lot of material that will be published nearly every week, so keep checking back and/or sign up on social media for the updates. Here is the link for our Pininterest page: https://www.pinterest.com/NYDoveHunting/
  16. Our petition is doing well, including down state, but that is where the antis know they get the most bang for their buck , so we too want to amp it up here, see article and share it! http://nydovehunting.weebly.com/do-you-live-here.html

  19. Update August 13, 2015 New York Dove Hunting Petition is doing well. As we alluded in our slide presentation, this movement does not move unless it is pumped. We have analytic tracking which allows us to determine how many people look at our website and social media, and how many return. Of course, the number of petition signatures and social media subscriptions are known as well. We also enter the subscribers into a spreadsheet with petition signatories. Only 10% of those who follow us on social media have actually signed the petition. We have indeed tried to press those people to sign and/or ask why they have not signed, with no results for either. The number of petition signatures we receive is directly related to any action we take. Without doing anything, we might get about one signature a day. Of all the actions, except the advertisement in the Hunting and Trapping Regulation Guide, no action outperforms any other. For example, if we blog on a hunting forum or face book group, send out face book feed, advertise on face book, post on face book hunting groups, or send out mass emails, no one action yields more, and all indeed show a marked spike in signatures. Thus, it is important that you also undertake these actions and help us expand our reach. And, some of you have, keep it up. The others must become engaged as well. The advertisement in the Hunting and Trapping Regulation Guide is only a few days old, and it is indeed working. We also look up some of the signatories and notice we are now reaching a new market or demagraph, which is a very good thing. We hope to take out a full page ad next year, and it is not too early to start gathering donations for the June deadline. At this year’s rates, a full page ad will cost just under $3,000. Our National Hunting and Fishing Day Campaign did not get off the ground. That does not mean all of you cannot take a laptop and/or print outs of petition sheets and go gather signatures at these events next month. With enough people engaged, it would be very easy to get over 10,000 signatures on this one day. Again, now is the time for discussions about National Hunting and Fishing Day in 2016. The sooner this gets into play, the sooner we will be closer than ever toward a dove hunting season in NY. We created a slide show for your use to bring to your clubs. So far, we have no indication anyone has used it or recently presented to any clubs. We will be brushing up our internet sites. Besides housekeeping and maximizing the use of search engines and keywords we are going to also be working on different ways to deliver our message. We will be sending out social media feed in much smaller bites which are more palatable. In addition to that, we have been experimenting with cartoons, and will be prolifically producing cartoons and, of course, distributing them in the near future. We are excited and optimistic about the ground we have broken, the wide foundation we have built, and the new approaches, especially the cartoons we are developing. However, we are not nearly in place to take the beach yet. The sooner more people “get serious about doves” the sooner this will happen. “Time to get serious about doves!”
  20. NY Dove Hunting's advertisement in 2015-16 Hunting & Trapping Guide is out! If you go to the link below and then scroll to page 50, our ad appears in the lower left hand corner. If ads do not appear on your screen, you will see that if you click on that location you are directed to our petition. The hard copy regulation guides will be out soon you can also look for the ad there. We again thank those who donated to pay for this ad! Moving forward, it will take some time to generate the needed political support for a dove season and we hope to purchase a full page ad next year, and to do so will require additional donations. To make a donation for next year's ad, email us through the contact page of the NYDH website. http://www.dec.ny.gov/docs/wildlife_pdf/15huntguide.pdf
