BILL NUMBER:S1683A

TITLE OF BILL:
An act
to amend the environmental conservation law, in relation to the hunting
of deer and bear in Cortland county; and providing for the repeal
of such provisions upon expiration thereof

PURPOSE:
The purpose of the legislation is to allow the hunting of
deer and bear with rifles in Cortland County.

SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:
The bill amends section 11-0907 of the
environmental conservation law to add Cortland County to the list of
counties in which the taking of deer by rifle is authorized.

EXISTING LAW:
Current law allows the taking of deer in the southern
tier, central, and western regions of the state by rifle in Allegany,
Cattaraugus, Chemung, Chenango, Herkimer, Madison, Montgomery,
Oneida, Oswego, Otsego, Schoharie, Schuyler, Steuben, Tioga, Yates,
and a portion of Broome County.

JUSTIFICATION:
The legislation, which has been introduced at the
request of Cortland County, would allow sportsmen and women to hunt
deer and bear with rifles in the county. Big-game rifle hunting is
currently permitted in many counties across New York State, including
the neighboring counties of Chenango, Madison, and Tioga.
The experiences in these counties have been overwhelmingly positive,
with very few reported adverse incidents or problems. In fact,
neighboring Madison County reported no incidents of accidents
involving rifles reported during the first season (2008).

The decision to authorize the use of rifles for big-game hunting is
based upon the increasing deer population and declining hunting
population, which has in turn resulted in increased crop damage and
collision with automobiles.
Given the rural nature of Cortland County and the safety record of
hunters in the counties where rifle use has been permitted, it would
be reasonable to now permit big-game hunters in Cortland County the
same opportunities.

LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:
S.7487 of 2010.

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
None.

EFFECTIVE DATE:
Immediately.
