All, Legislation S387 is a poaching bill that is almost passed but needs help! It increases poaching fines here in NYS for those bold enough to shoot a deer out of season or "jacking" them at night with a light, especially so for repeat offenders. the bill even includes provisions for temporary loss of hunting privileges. It has already passed in the Assembly. It has made it through committee unopposed and has been read for the last time in the Senate. All that needs to happen is for it to be scheduled for a vote on the Senate floor. Last year it was in the same situation but later in session. Not enough people expressed how important it was to them. It sat on a polished desk and never got scheduled and thus passed. There are only so many legislative sessions left to do so. Contact your Senator to let them know you want this to come to a floor vote and pass. More importantly contact Senator Flanagan's office as his office does the scheduling. If you live between Melville and Port Jefferson on Long Island then let him know your a voter and it's important it passes. Senator Flanagan's offices Albany Office: 518-455-2071 LI Office: 260 Middle Country Road, Suite 102 Smithtown , NY 11787 631-361-2154

Bills out right now to amend current environmental conservation law, increasing fines for shooting deer out of season or basically jacking them at night. NYS assembly A556 and NYS senate S387. the bills were reintroduced from last session where it almost made it to the senate floor to complete pass, but simply ran out of time. It already passed in the assembly (again) but seems to be stalling in the senate (again). to date counting all sessions it's only gotten a single no vote. it's in the senate environmental committee now. O'Mara is the chair to get it out of committee. Feel free to call his office to show your support 518-455-2091 (albany office) and 607-735-9671 (local office). Lets get this passed before hunting season. Screw a poacher by telling friends.
