Getting back to NY hunting after a long time away...been told we're now allowed to rifle hunt certain areas of the southern zone that have been closed before. Someone at NYDEC told me I was good to hunt an area in the southern part of zone 8F. Is that true?

Also, I plan to pick up a non-res license today....also told I could buy a doe tag right there at the same time for zone 8F. Also true?

Thank you, all....

Ok Elite. Appreciate the help.

It appears what is saving me is the fact that I'm going to be just barely in Ontario County in 8F...Monroe County appears to be shotgun only.

Anyway, I'm told DMPs are plentiful for that area, so I'll keep hope alive that when I buy my NY licensing tomorrow I'll be able to pick one up. If not, I'll ring you up...thank you very much sir.

I'm new to this forum, so maybe you could IM me your contact number so I can call if need be? Thank you again!

      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!

      Looking to sell my Gen 1 Ruger PRS in .308
      Unfortunately, I've only brought it to the range one time before so it's barely used.
      Rifle is all stock besides the addition of the muzzle break.
      I want to upgrade my bow, and don't have the chance to shoot this as much as I like.
      Rifle w/ scope : $1300
      Rifle w/out scope: $900
      FFL transaction required.
      You can contact me at [email protected] with any questions or more pics.
