Correct. Hunting/fishing licenses don't make the state any money. It's more of the hotels, restaurants, sporting goods stores that make out during those seasons.

Thank Heavens they don't rely on my commercial contributions for any of their resources. Since I primarily hunt from home, nobody really gets any of my restaurant or hotel money as part of my hunting. And while equipment purchases may seem expensive, most of us likely get a lot of years out of these purchases. I doubt that any of that really gets a lot of attention from our legislators. In fact what really pushes their buttons is whether anything about us or from us helps them get re-elected. Sadly, I think our influence in that area is not really all that impressive.

i don't know how much i'd hunt with it.  more and more i have a draw to revert back to trad gear.  i do have a real itch to buy one though.  i used to buy expensive high end compounds each year.  i've scaled back a little.  my primary hunting bow is a 2011 and it's still more than fine.

If I get bored in the fall, i'll buy a brand new supped up Mathews and smoke someone's target buck in October

really?  Mathews bows come with soup now?  my october buck will most likely be smoked  ....snack sticks, hot dogs, jerky, whatever you want i'll share.  i mean if it's as discouraging as getting food with a customers Mathews bow now so they won't starve, it's the least i could do.

damn they know the business!  must be competing with Hoyt's lifetime free admission to any Waffle House.

FYI sorry John about shattering your rule, but the bill is in hibernation until next year and based on the title i assume Rick's going to post another thread anyway.

A lot of guys that can't pull back a compound due to a disability won't be able to hunt the first month of archery. Really sucks and all because politicians can't get their heads out of their asses.

Tonight I stopped at field and stream. They had the new Ravin crossbow. Man that thing was sweet light and balanced!

So, is that it??? Is Crossbow full inclusion in archery season officially dead for another year?

[dbHunterNY]

Until this winter when legislators are back in session.

Sorry Doc, I missed your post.

The bills are now in limbo and will be reintroduced in January 2018 when the legislature goes into session.

Thus the answer to your question is, there is no change to the crossbow regulations for this fall.

I've given up on the xbow agenda in NY. It's been too many years. Moving to a compound most likely and will go wild in October.

Not me. I think it will happen!
