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!

Southern Zone only. I don't understand why they don't include rifle, only Bow & Muzzy...

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.

FYI - There's legislation in NY A556 https://www.nysenate.gov/…/bil…/2017/a556/amendment/original that has passed increases the minimum fines, increases them even more for repeat offenders, and effectively takes away license for 5 years in 48 states.
.....BUT Governor Andrew Cuomo has yet to sign it. If he doesn't by the end of this year it dies and does not become law. I know it's hunting season but spread the word! Even better let him know.

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
