You should never let a bear climb up ,  Bear Spray (pepper Spray), or standing up and waving hands is recommended, if that fails waving hands and talking to it, last resort shot it.   This is what I read in a black bear hunting book I read before going on my hunt.

Are there any legal restrictions on owning pepper spray in NYS?

New York Pepper Spray Law

govnor-pataki.gif
Governor Gorge Pataki

Upon entering office, Governor Pataki implemented new legislation regarding the right of New Yorkers to carry self-defense sprays. Now in line with other states, New York State, including New York City, has specific rules regarding the purchase of pepper spray.

Self Defenses Inc., has developed their product to meet all the state regulations. Our product, Force Spray, is as potent as other products sold in the United States. At this time, we believe we are the only company that makes a product meeting all the requirements necessary to be sold in New York State.

      Tree Stands on WMA
      By BuckSteady
      New hunter to NY here. Found some public land to hunt, it’s a WMA. I wish I read the regs more thoroughly because I threw up a ladder stand yesterday and today when I was re-reading them, I saw you can’t put temporary stands on WMAs, only on state forests and other such state land. I honestly didn’t know I wasn’t allowed to, I even put my name and license # on the stand. I was going to go take it down tomorrow but it’s an hour drive so I wanted to ask, what do DEC officers do if they find a ladderstand like mine on a WMA? Is this an automatic fine or whatever? Will they just call me and tell me to come get it? Confiscate? How often do officers go through areas like WMAs and check for stands? Any info would be helpful. I’ll still probably go take it down tomorrow, although I have seen other stands up on the WMA, I just prefer to stay on the right side of the law myself. Thanks!

      MAKING US LOOK SUB-HUMAN
      By CapDistPatriot
      I couldn't even watch the video. Just pisses me off that A.) Some "people" do think this is acceptable behavior, and B.) The humane society feels the need to smear all who partake in our great sport by releasing the video. I mean, they didn't just get this from a leak, they actually took the time to file a FOIA request.
      I have some sympathy for someone who poaches a deer here and there because he cannot afford food from the grocery store (out where I grew up it was quite common) and needs to feed his family, but these @$$holes are just killing for sport. Complete disrespect for the lives of the creatures God created for us.

      Big Game Hunting Opportunities in Ontario, CA
      By Padre86
      I'm looking at the big game hunting opportunities in Ontario, CA.  According to the province's regulations, non-residents (with some exceptions) have to hunt bear and moose with a licensed guide.  So, unguided, DIY hunts (at least for bear and moose) aren't feasible up there.
       
      I've looked through a few different guiding websites to get a baseline for the prices that are charged: $3.5k-$6k per person for Moose hunts (depending on the level of guide services); and $2.5k-$3.5k for black bear hunts (again depending on the level of guide services).
       
      My question: are there any guides/outfitters which offer minimal services, and cheap fees, for hunting these animals?  For example, is there an outfitter which takes on a non-resident hunter as registered guest but allows him/her to hunt DIY for a cheaper rate than what is mentioned above?

      Bear Calling in the Northern Zone
      By Padre86
      Anyone here ever tried calling for black bear in the northern zone of NY (mostly referring to Tug Hill and the ADK's)?
       
      I've heard that in certain areas which have similar vegetation and terrain to NY (western Oregon and Washington) calling black bear is a tactic used by some hunters, as traditional spot-and-stalk hunts aren't really feasible and baiting and hounding aren't allowed.
       
      I was thinking of trying some calling this coming fall.  I'd be interested in talking to anyone else who has tried this method.
