Gov. Hochul should cancel deer hunting during Christmas holiday break (Your Letters)

Extending deer season "obstructs outdoor recreation for people in rural communities and has a negative impact socially and economically," says the letter writer.

If there is deep snow, and the deer are yarded up, like at Selkirk State Park.it will be an Aushwitz for deer.

It may be a ploy to shoot snowmobilers and CC skiers................hatred of them runs deep in the State Bureaucracy.......many MAGA in this target rich environment

The only supporters were DEC/ENCON employee maniacs, who killed Chestnut the Squirrel.........typical deep staters.

How bout you go recreate and shoot some deer !

So.....this guy is scared to ride his snowmobile because of the dwindling number of hunters in the woods ? He thinks a bunch of screaming kids sledding on a hill close to their houses will get shot because some hunter will mistake them for a deer ? His arguments don't compute. He has an agenda to shut down hunting, but cannot give a reason that supports it, and he knows that saying "I don't think they should allow hunting" is going to gather support.

As a former decades long snowmobiler, that extra week won't conflict with winter sports. Snow hasn't been what it used to be for years and in recent years, some trails don't even open at all.

Paint your snowmobile blaze orange.

Hunting thru Xmas used to be reserved for poachers.............they got rots too??

Desperate late season hunters, restricted to ML's and Bows are sometimes caught with AR's in the backpacks, just in case a deer shows up too far away in a deer yard.

Got rid of my sleds years ago, no snow to justify. All Quads now.

Delusional

Hunters have very specific seasons and deer is really only one time of the year (Fall/Early Winter) while hikers, etc. can go literally any time of the year they want. How about you shut up and let hunters (with their hunting implement of choice) have their opportunity in the woods. And let's be honest, there are not nearly the number of hunters as there used to be. No kids are getting shot during the holiday hunt. In fact most of the hunting accidents the last few years are guys who fell out of tree stands.

WTF are you talking about? Show me where you got that AR in a backpack bullshit. Stop talking out your ass.

I’d like to know how many people legitimately go to a state park and hike where you can Hunt? There are plenty of places to go outside where you cannot hunt and plenty of state parks cordon off areas for no hunting.

did I miss the comment section or does Sucacuse papers not allow replies?

What I dont get is that they keep repeating "rural families" are negatively affected and opposed. I would bet not one real rural family has any concerns about it at all. Sounds more like anti hunting cidiots with part time weekend homes crying cause they feel threatened while they are there on xmas break. I laugh every hunting season seeing these people on the trails where I walk my dogs wearing bright pink and orange outfits where hunting is not allowed. They will actually stop me and ask why I'm not dressed like them. When I tell them there is no hunting in this area they will say "poachers are all over" or "then why do I hear shots" not knowing those shots are miles away. Stupid fucks.

Wait till shrubbery gets eaten in Fayetteville then its game on to cull the deer with real guns in residential neighborhoods.

I entered the lottery several years ago for the bow hunting only areas around Green Lakes state park and the Fayetteville area.
Just as the DEC was about to draw names for this special hunt
there was a PETA protest against it and the pussy DEC backed down . Apparently they opted to bait and feed them birth control instead ! Hahahaha , I kid you not.
The locals in the area that were driving the township crazy with complaints about the deer eating thousands of dollars in landscaping were pissed.

Just before I moved off Staten Island 10 yrs ago they started tranquilizing and castrating male deer. The population was so big at the time. It wasnt because of over browsing but over suicide by motor vehicle. It was thought it wasnt working but they recently reported a significant reduction. Took almost 10 yrs.

When I read about this plan it had me shaking my head. The study on what to do about the Staten Island population was quite expensive and the program cost was astronomical. I still tell people about it to show the idiocy of government. For the cost of a few cases of .308 and some cheap permits they could have got every redneck in the northeast to eradicate the bucks in about 10 minutes! Even better they could have let the trophies be kept and used the meat to feed the homeless! Solving problems is not what the government does!

They did consider a limited bow hunt, but opted for the sterilization. .308 would not be a good idea on Staten Island, it is a populated part of NYC, very little undeveloped land, and what there is isnt expansive enough to shoot a rifle.
