Clarification

[Special T]

This is a PERFECT example of  why they do not  put stuff in writing! If they just tell you, YOU have no recourse if they are wrong. IF THEY put it in writing they are legally bound by it. If find it so discouraging that we have to be legal experts on all matters in this ever changing always growing set of rules.  Perhaps if they had a few more hunters and fishermen they would take more than a passing interest in the BS they push on us.

And why is it so hard to recruit new hunters into the sport?  It's because of all the rules.  It is hard enough for us guys that have been hunting in this state for decades to keep track of all the rules.  I imagine a new guy would have his head spinning trying to sort out all the legalities regarding hunting in this state.  Just an observation........

4th year hunting... and i was first BLOWN away at rules and regs.  I hunted in NY, you can use retractable broadheads as long as the dont form a barb or a hook, and you cant have anything Mechanical on your bow.. I.E.  you can't have a machine pull it back for you.  Thats it... you can use lumioks, cameras, lights for you fiber optics to see your pins... i came out here ( cause this is where i was stationed)  and was like well this stinks...  ... but hopefully they make changes... they did for the luminocks out here, now if we can get em to changes the electrical equipment and mechanical broad heads, it may take a while but i think there will be changes in the years to come.

Here's hoping (respectfully) that you are wrong.

Mechanical broadheads and cameras on bows is not what I was thinking about when I was mentioning all the rules.

The regulation on using electrical equipment on bows was clear to me.

Very clear.  I never had a doubt that placing a camera on a bow was anything but illegal.

But, you have to admit that there are a lot of rules that a newbie has to wade thru to be able to go hunting.  i.e. - evidence of sex, when hunter orange is required, possession limits on ducks, how far off the road do you have to be to shoot, can you shoot off the hood of your truck,  etc.  The same questions come up every year.

if you are gonna put a mount a camra on the bow like myself be sure to print out that response and glue it in your hunting lic/tag holder!!

Wrong on what? ?

[turkeyfeather]

I believe he is referring to mechanical broadheads and electronics on bows. Many (me included) don't like them or think they are a good idea.

I didn't take it as stirring the pot, you are not alone in hoping for changes, I'm just not one of them.  Certainly did not offend me at all.  Good luck this fall.
