Squirrelhunter91 Posted November 13, 2006 Report Share Posted November 13, 2006 Here is an article that was in the paper upstate in Sullivan County. The ECON that made the arrest, Scott Steingart, is a friend of ours too. I cut the article out but left it at the cabin. So I did some googling and found it. http://www.recordonline.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20061111/NEWS/61110015/-1/NEWS Cops say men shot buck from pickup By Victor Whitman November 11, 2006 Fremont – Two Rockland County residents face several misdemeanor charges for “jacklighting” and shooting a young buck in Fremont. At about 4:15 a.m. Wednesday, Stainislaw Jakubiak, 47, and Andi Kowalcze, 54, of New City, were spotted by a resident who says they were spotlighting deer from a Chevy pickup near Mileses. DEC Officer Scott Steingart and his police dog, Buck, later tracked the pair to a nearby campground, where police say they had dragged the 80-pound yearling buck and covered it in leaves. Regular deer season doesn’t begin until Nov. 18. It is illegal to spotlight deer, a method of using a spotlight to freeze the animal by the side of the road. The two were charged with misdemeanors that included illegal taking of a deer and possessing a loaded firearm in a vehicle. They were arraigned in Fremont Town Court and posted $1,100 bail each. “They could be looking at up to $4,000 in fines, a year in jail and loss of their sporting licenses for five years,” DEC Lt. Deming Lindsley said. “It is another case where we wouldn’t have known about it if it hadn’t been for a concerned citizen.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWSmith Posted November 13, 2006 Report Share Posted November 13, 2006 Re: NY Buck poached!! Joe, Lets make sure they get thier facts straight Obviously these two Jerks had different intentions than whats listed below From the NYDEC Website: Spotlighting You may use lights to observe deer and bear under the following conditions: You are not within 500 feet of a home or farm building, unless you have permission from the owner or lessee. While in or on a motor vehicle and operating a light and no person has a firearm or bow unless: the firearm is taken down or the bow is unstrung, or the firearm is securely fastened in a case, or the firearm is locked in the trunk of the vehicle, or the firearm is a handgun. For information on hunting furbearers at night, see the Small Game and Furbearer Regulations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squirrelhunter91 Posted November 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2006 Re: NY Buck poached!! GW, I know that. I know spotlighting is legal as long as your not in possession of a loaded firearm, other than a pistol. But that's the liberal newspapers for ya.
