Adjam5 Posted February 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 Re: NY Hunting issues in Senate Here is some more info... -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Sent: Mon, 19 Feb 2007 11:24 AM Subject: Junior Hunter Bills Hello All The New York State Conservation Council is looking for support to get legislation passed that will allow our junior hunters to hunt big game. We need sportsmen AND YOUTH to meet with their Assemblyman and Senator and voice their support for the following Assembly and Senate bills. A04623-Junior Archery (allow 12 & 13 year olds to hunt big game with a bow) S00113-Junior Archery (allow 12 & 13 year olds to hunt big game with a bow) A03878-Junior Big Game (allow 14 & 15 year olds to hunt big game with a gun) S00857 Junior Big Game (allow 14 & 15 year olds to hunt big game with a gun) It would be nice if these meetings happened in Albany on March 13th during our March on Albany. But if you cannot make it on that day, please meet with your Assemblyman and Senator in their home office, ASAP. Hand them a letter written by the youth and co-signed by the parent or parents, supporting this legislation and asking for the legislator's support. Take some photos of the meeting that can be shared with the Council, to use to further our education of our legislators. It would be helpful to have the youth be a junior hunter who wants to hunt big game in New York State. Even better would be a youth who is not allowed to hunt big game here but who actually went to another state and hunted big game. Do you have photos of junior hunters hunting big game in other states that could be shared with the Council? If so, please contact me. We need sportsmen from every part of the State to do this, if we are going to show that sportsmen really want our junior hunters to be able to hunt big game. Don't wait for someone else to do it! Contact your Assemblyman and Senator right away. Please pass this message along to all youth interested in hunting, so they can become active in this. Yours in Conservation, Harold L. Palmer President New York State Conservation Council Inc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
