DEC asking for hunting comments
May 27, 2015 12:03 am
The Albany Times Union reports that the state Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) is accepting public comments through June 29 on proposals for hunting and trapping of wild turkey, deer, and fisher. Because of falling turkey populations the DEC may limit fall turkey season to two weeks with a bag limit of one bird of either sex for the season. There are also proposals to alter deer hunting regulations in western and southeastern New York, and to reduce the fisher trapping seasons in northern New York, while opening a limited new fisher trapping season in central and western New York. The proposals are on the DEC website at http://on.ny.gov/1JB27Sj
