If the hunting contests are ineffective at controlling populations as the bill's justification states and still follow all laws and regulations set forth for hunting in New York, how can they "possibly jeopardize the future of hunting and affect access to private lands for all hunters."? Additionally, hunters can not access private land with out explicit permission from the land owner.
