Youngsters Turn Out in Droves for New NY License
Posted by DDH Staff

ALBANY, N.Y. - Conservation officials say more than 15,000
youngsters got licenses this year to hunt deer and bear in New
York.
New York's new law, meant to help reverse a decline in the
numbers of hunters and increasing numbers of deer, allows teens
ages 14 and 15 to hunt big game with a firearm when supervised by
an experienced adult hunter. Previously, children 12 to 16 could
hunt small game with a gun or longbow, and 14- and 15-year-olds
could shoot big game with a bow.
Preliminary Department of Environmental Conservation reports
show the new licensees killed almost 3,700 deer in 2008.
The agency says hunters took more than 217,000 deer in 2008,
approaching the 219,000 killed last year. They killed almost 1,150
bears this year, compared with about 1,100 in 2007 and almost 800
in 2006.
