New January Firearms rule, What does it mean?

[sssurfertim]

Saw it in the new 5 year plan, anyone know exactly what it means? Says they "Opened all Suffolk County to Gun season" Anyone know?

i didnt hear anything like that... ill have to look into that, opening all of Suffolk to shot gun season may not be the best idea.

What it means is if you are allowed to shoot a bow in that town you are legaly allowed to hunt... Bow only...

It depends on the town ordanances. Are fire arms allowed, ahh that I doubt unless it is legal to discharge a gun in that town...

If the town allowes discharge of a bow you are legaly allowed to hunt that town with a bow is how I understand it. The most importian thing is to check with the town to see what is legal in so far as shooting implement...

EX: If huntington allows hunting with a bow this year, Caumset state park might be legal to hunt. You have to check with town regulations...

PS: Most towns on LI do not allow discharging fire arms(except out east) so this would be restricted to bow only where towns now allow hunting, or discharging of a bow...

Shotguns will still be limited to the towns that allow it's use.

EX: I am sure huntington is still a no discharge town for fire arms...

IF you guys find out anything more on this or if I am wrong let me know. I would like to know more...

I will check out more on this...
