DirtTime Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 I just spent about 30 minutes helping a Jr. Hunter, right in here. I and three other people had the law wrong. It was nice to help him out and I actually learned something new maself, and was able to find and get him the right info he was asking for. That's it should be. My humble opinion anyway. What the DEC feild people should know, and what they do know, has seemed out of whack for more years then I have been alive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jesse.james Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Ever since my father and brother got turned in for hunting over corn on our lease the dec have been all over our area. Not only did they bust 2 guys with bait but got a few dozen helmet tickets. They now hang around high market all hunting season. It's the ticket honey pot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ididnotvoteforobama Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Helmet law , new to New York . You need a Snell approved helmet to protect your head in case of a fall out of your tree stand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jesse.james Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 WTF is a helmet ticket and how does one go about getting it, or better NOT getting it?The road my camp and many of the camps around are minimum maintenance dirt roads so the main mode of transportation around the area is by atv. People up in the sticks don't tend to wear helmets when riding especially to the hunting stand. Hence all the tickets for riding without a helmet.

Two Track Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 it is better to break a helmet than a head. My cousin split his bicycle helmet the first week he had one by taking a spill. ATV is much faster. Fall out of that and hit a rock with your head and that same cousin of mine will standing there and making out an accident report while waiting for the coroner to pick up the body from the scene. He is happier to give warnings or a ticket, than having to call-in for a meat wagon or make that knock on your family's door to deliver the bad news.

Waldershrek Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Not surprising. Most cops don't know the laws other than the few VTL sections they write all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Two Track Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 (edited) Helmet in stand, no. Helmet for ATV on public roads/lands, yes. Edited October 21, 2014 by Two Track Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
