BILL NUMBER: S7210
TITLE OF BILL :
An act to amend the environmental conservation law, in relation to
allowing the use of rifles for hunting in Wyoming county
PURPOSE :
This bill would allow the hunting of deer and bear through the use of
a rifle in Wyoming County.
JUSTIFICATION :
At the request of Wyoming county, the county would be included in
those areas where sportsmen and women are able to hunt deer and bear
with rifles. Since 2005, several counties in the Southern and Central
New York have been allowed to permit hunting of deer and bear with
rifles. There have been very few reported adverse incidents or
problems. Given the rural nature of Wyoming County and the safety
record of hunters in the counties where rifle hunting has been
permitted, it would be reasonable to now permit rifle hunters in
Wyoming County the same opportunities.

New bill.
