Got the NYODN today...hhhmmmmmm

Let me ask, for admittedly I haven't seen the full regulation proposal... Besides saying all artificial lures must state no biological waste was used...Are they going to ban the use and then allow the sales in NYS of real deer urine ...you know like that worthless no feeding /baiting ban does? I mention this because..I see that several years after getting their butts kicked in court, they FINALLY are going to tighten the baiting/feeding law wording,BTW to include all you back yard bird watchers..... Yes God forbid a deer comes to your feeder and you get caught just outside your picture window...you will get a ticket...I suppose they could barrow the sheriff dept.  drone or use their own...to do neighborhood patrols to catch the dreaded inadvertent deer /bird feeding criminals.... get out those infrared cams ...I mean with pot starting to become a bit less illegal and more so as time goes by...they have to find some use for this equipment......yes...drip drip dripping with sarcasm.

I haven't seen the article, so I can't comment directly. I just wonder who starts these kinds of regulations at the state level and what the end goal of any regulation like this might be. This applies to any of the other similarly dumb regulations that seem to crop up on a regular basis. Will it end with every hunter in NYS being accompanied by a DEC agent while afield? Will I have to bring my lawyer along to sit under my tree stand? Actually I do see where this is headed, and my silly thinking posted above may not be too far off.

They'd be just as effective making a regulation stating anyone growing any thing green or edible...including the bushes around the house...or to put up ,do not feed signs for the deer.I walk through the turnips each with bites out of them for weeks, until they are finally gone...green fields so filled with droppings you can barely walk through them with out stepping in a pile..let's not even talk about bean and corn crops..a parade of deer going to small patches of spilled corn after the harvest for days until it's gone...nose to nose... I could see banning the use of out of state..but in state on closed monitored herds is a different story..

It seems they are clueless as to how to write up all these regulations they want.
