  1. Take the NY Dove Hunting quiz. See if you are a good dove hunting advocate! http://www.poll-maker.com/Q51PGM
  2. Our 5 Websites (Note each website also has its own social media presences) http://nydovehunting.weebly.com/ http://thebirdhuntingsociety.weebly.com/ http://unitedhuntersofnyc.weebly.com/ http://newjerseysundayhuntingforall.weebly.com/ http://thefoodcentrichunter.weebly.com/ RGS Chapter (Hudson Valley) Fundraiser https://attachment.fbsbx.com/file_download.php?id=1724294747805159&eid=ASu-VZP_4wW3ZSURnC_fw4nIlPnA0DhNocnrqTituG_FCk-h-Q1PemYEnnP6XYzMG98&inline=1&ext=1454491292&hash=ASsZgXR9LXqru5dw
  3. NY Dove Hunting launched another subsidiary. From this site, we have doewhacker and 16. gauge hunter working on the team. Those interested in our advocacy goals, as well as some dog training meet ups and hunts, are encouraged to use the web link below to learn about the organization and join us. Follow us on Facebook as well. http://thebirdhuntersofnewyork.weebly.com/
  4. We just learned of an event posted on Facebook to protest a crow hunting contest in NY. Reading the comments within the event, we see someone commenting against the hunting of rails, gallinules, and woodcock. The theme: crows, rails, gallinules, and woodcock is webless migratory game birds, which would also include mourning doves, although they were not mentioned. Another comment pushed against grouse and pheasant hunting, and created the Facebook hash tags grouse lives matter and pheasant lives matter. This is why BIRD HUNTERS need to organize and sign petitions as we ask!
  5. Twenty states have state pheasant stocking programs. Critics of these programs grossly mischaracterize all aspects of them, including how much they cost and who pays for them.This report is specific to NY and is part of a series we (NY Dove Hunting and The Bird Hunting Society) are publishing to provide a realistic perspective about the matter. http://nydovehunting.weebly.com/cost-of-reynolds-pheasant-farm-per-hunter.html
  6. Synopsis of The Annual “Joint Budget Hearing – Environmental Conservation.” Every year, state agencies such as the DEC have a hearing regarding how much money they need for the upcoming year’s operations. The DEC, is actually the Environmental Conservation Department, hence Joint Budget Hearing – Environmental Conservation. Other state agencies also have their own Joint Budget Hearings, but Environmental Conservation indicates the DEC. This year the DEC’s hearing is Thursday, January 28, 2016, from 9:30 am to 12:30 pm. The location is: Hearing Room B, 2nd Floor, at the state house in Albany of course. The hearing will also stream live as a video and also be available as an archived video at least for some time. The word “Joint” refers to the presence of both the state senate and state assembly. However, it is not the entire senate and assembly; it is the Senate Finance Committee and the Assembly Ways and Means Committee, or at least their chairs, who at this time are Senator John DeFrancisco and Assemblyman Herman Farrell. The Senate and Assembly Environmental Conservation Committees do not necessarily participate in this hearing, as this is a matter of funding. Besides the DEC testifying on its own behalf, the public can also make suggestions about funding the DEC. Perhaps a dozen persons who represent a variety of diverse organizations will testify. In 2015, even Susan McDonough, a former state trooper (16 year veteran), who now is the NYS Humane Association Chair of the Committee on Animal Cruelty issues had testified. Although the record of McDonough’s testimony addresses the Agriculture Markets Department, an agency that might have been relevant to her testimony, apparently McDonough got lost and ended up in the Environmental Conservation Hearing were she asked for tens of thousands of dollars to be used to train police officers and dog control officers about animal cruelty. McDonough asserted that animal cruelty is a “bridge crime” and testified that serial killers often have a history of animal cruelty and indicated Jeffrey Dalmer and the Boston Strangler are examples of this. If YOU want to testify here is how you go about it. You call Jessica Jeune (518-455-3573) at least two days before the hearing. The DEC is scheduled on Thursday, January 28, 2016. Therefore you must call Jeune no later than Tuesday, January 26. Your testimony must be limited to ten minutes and you must bring 50 copies of your testimony with you.
  7. So, just how many mourning doves does one see per hour sitting in blinds across NY state in December 2015? Here is a partial report on this years Christmas Bird Count for mourning doves, done just this past week or so.... Note Location and in BOLD first number is doves seen, second number is hours in the blind. As I already said, December is not prime time to see mourning doves in NY because of migration and mortality, thus numbers of resident and stop over doves in the fall are much greater.

  8. Mourning Dove Population and Distribution in NY State Note: This report is not complete and is still in progress.Stay tuned.... • DEC Mourning Dove Banding Effort: The DEC participated in a five year banding study which was recently completed. We are confirming locations of banding, and number of doves banded each year and will include this data in this report. Thus far, we have some partial data from Region 9: in the town of Portland, the DEC banded between 200 and 300 mourning doves per year. • Christmas Bird Counts (CBC): These counts are done in December every year in all sections of the state. Note that mourning dove populations are not likely to be near peak during the CBC because of migration. We are collecting CBC data which will be included in this report. We have some data from the Plattsburg region Christmas Bird Count of 2006. Here is the numbers for that year: Ferrisburg: 579 mourning doves. Plattsburg: 442 mourning doves. Elizabethtown: 171 mourning doves. Saranac Lake: 84 mourning doves. • Miscellaneous: Mourning doves nest in “great numbers” in Long Island, the Lower Hudson Valley, and the Lake Ontario Plains. Mourning dove populations have increased in NY for the past 40 to 45 years as evinced by population surveys done by the FWS.
  9. Being a Dove Advocate 1. Individuals such as yourself acting as an advocate for dove hunting is essential to the success of the dove initiative. 2. Outreach on hunting matters is always very difficult. There is no exception to this, just ask any DEC staff. 3. Never expect people to be informed or even interested in the subject, this is why outreach and advocacy is so important. 4. Expect a few naysayers in every crowd. 5. Because so few are informed about the matter and the inevitable naysayers you need to be prepared. Use our online outreach tools to first inform yourself and then to inform those whom you speak to. 6. At first you might not influence many people. You may even feel your efforts are backfiring. However, as you gain experience conducting outreach you will get better and better. 7. Remain confident and stick to your narrative as all of the information we promulgate is accurate, verifiable, and in the correct context. In contrast, the narratives of naysayers are none of that. 8. Do not feel obligated to defend everything you say. Remember there are 12 million hunters in the USA and each of them have opinions about numerous topics. As you become more skilled you will find it easier to defend your statements, but that does not equate to an obligation of responding to absurd opinions or repeatedly address the same subtopic over and over to no end.
  10. The Anti-Pheasant Hunting Narrative (a set of predictable stories with repetitive refrains) is a cleverly layered case against pheasant hunting purposely designed with seductive premises which resonate with a broad public. That diverse group includes some conservationists and hunters who are willing to bolster (the pheasant and dove rhetoric of the Humane Society) to undermine certain forms of hunting....

  11. NYC Hunters are STILL not organized! We have attempted to reach out to NYC hunters in an effort to not only organize them in the mourning dove initiative, and protect the State Pheasant Farm, but also to organize them in general. There is absolutely no reason NYC hunters cannot develop a member list, maintain NYC-specific social media, a website, and their own e-newsletter, and a forum if they desire. They can also do what several hundred upstate organizations do, and have dozens of local state assembly and senate members attend their meetings and discuss hunting-related matters. NY Dove Hunting is willing to help NYC hunters create a website, social media, newsletter, and forum, as we did for New Jersey hunters regarding their initiative to legalize Sunday firearm hunting. However, we cannot administer the organization for you. This is where NJ is failing, at least for now. We cannot recruit, organize, and do what needs to be done at the local grassroots level. And, unfortunately, due to lobbying by state hunting organizations under the notion it is in the best interest of the hunter (privacy, etc), it is difficult for us to obtain a list of licensed hunters from the DEC. There are probably between 50,000 and 70,000 licensed hunters in NYC, not including Long Island. NYC hunters will not be counted until they are organized separately from state and national hunting organizations. NY Dove Hunting has already been corresponding with downstate legislators, including those in NYC. They are not as smug some would lead you to believe. If you help us, together we can nail this. Contact us through our website and lets get this going!
  12. 3 year old Male Black Labrador Retriever For Sale $1,500 Metropolis, Illinois Nathan Shearer I have for sale a very driven 3 year old black male Labrador Retriever. He has all his basic obedience down, force fetch, and three years hunting experience. Tank is a retrieving machine, he eats, sleeps, and breaths retrieving. As most know with this type of drive there can be a few hiccups and I feel he is priced accordingly. Feel free to PM me with any questions or for more details. Would make someone a fantastic hunting partner or field trial dog. DOB: 7/11/2012

  14. 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
  15. 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!
  16. 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
  17. 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

  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
