Saturday, September 24, 2016 is designated as National Hunting and Fishing Day.

Thank you to all of our sportsmen and sportswomen across the Southern Tier and Finger Lakes -- and throughout New York State -- for your contributions to our culture, our communities, our traditions and our economies.

See attached above Senator O'Mara's December 20, 2015 column on the economic impact of hunting and fishing, and the outdoor recreation industry overall, "Protecting New York's Outdoor Traditions."
