Interesting Youth Season Spot on News

[phade]

Just an update, I was talking to DEC today and the bill that would do away with the youth hunt still has not reached the Gov's desk. Sounds to me like the youth hunt is probably going to go on as scheduled.

NYON just published an article saying it had recently reached the Gov. desk...so the clock is now ticking.

Curious to see who is right. If it were anything less than a Regional Mgr....I call it suspect. NYON usually deals with the Admin in Albany.

This kind of stuff should not happen, to allow special interest groups and politics interfere with wildlife management is outrageous......the whole crossbow / antler restriction / youth hunt debate is dividing hunters instead of making us stronger....I will not be renewing my NYB membership after this year, but if the youth hunt gets squashed, I will use that weekend to take my son up to sight in all 10 of our rifles, my vacation I took to take my son hunting will not be wasted!!

Turkey might be open that weekend....

[jjb4900]

yup, turkey and and small game...people shooting up into trees for squirrel with a .22, now if that ain't dangerous, I don't know what is...certainly not a youth under adult supervision shooting at a deer.

[Culvercreek hunt club]

was just suggesting. Wish it had worked out for you.

Hmmm. none of the state sites show any activity on it since it was referred to ENCON. I havent looked at the NYODN site lately.

Well, if it had hit the governors desk around the 20 - 22, and wasnt signed by now, it means it has been subject to a pocket veto, right? I cant find any news on it, and the DEC site still shows the youth season as a go.

[Buckstopshere]

That's the way I see it too.

I got my renewal notice for NYBowhunter's today, sorry to say I won"t be renewing. Although I supported their stance on keeping crossbow's out of the Archery season for able bodied hunter's, I am unhappy with their fight to squash a youth hunt....my guess is they will lose more members this year then they bring in.....just my opinion.

[jjb4900]

But, with that being said, I give them credit for their fight to accomplish what they stand for, hope everyone takes notice of the importance of being vocal in what you believe in.
