It's been posted before.... NYS Senate Bill S4727B increases the fines for illegally taking (poaching) deer.

 

it's passed through committee and passed unanimously 97-0 through the Assembly and passed through the environmental conservation committee in the senate.  It's possibly a couple days from a floor vote by the senate to be fully passed.  it only needs to be scheduled for a floor vote, in which it will surely pass by a land slide.  it just has to be scheduled.  the man that has to allow and schedule it for a floor vote is.....

 

Senator John J. Flanagan

518-455-2071

this is really close to getting passed and will give poachers much more reason for worry and reconsider doing it in the first place.  take a minute to get ahold of them and let them know you support it.

FYI - you support this or you're the poacher!

      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.

      Hunting Bill Passed but Cuomo hasn't signed it yet
      By dbHunterNY
      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.

      Poaching Legislation Only Needs Floor Vote to Pass!
      By dbHunterNY
      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

      Poaching Legislation Almost Passed!
      By dbHunterNY
      Bills out right now to amend current environmental conservation law, increasing fines for shooting deer out of season or basically jacking them at night.  NYS assembly A556 and NYS senate S387.  the bills were reintroduced from last session where it almost made it to the senate floor to complete pass, but simply ran out of time.  It already passed in the assembly (again) but seems to be stalling in the senate (again).  to date counting all sessions it's only gotten a single no vote.  it's in the senate environmental committee now.  
      O'Mara is the chair to get it out of committee.  Feel free to call his office to show your support 518-455-2091 (albany office) and 607-735-9671 (local office).  Lets get this passed before hunting season.  Screw a poacher by telling friends.
