New York Hunting regulations from the NY State dept of Environmental Conservation website
Hunting is among the most popular forms of wildlife recreation in New York State. Nearly 700,000 New Yorkers and over 50,000 nonresidents hunt in the Empire State.
New York offers many exciting opportunities to hunt a large variety of wildlife, including big game, small game, game birds and furbearers.
About 85 percent of New York State is private property and that is where most hunting occurs. Most private property is posted against trespass, but many landowners will allow access if people ask permission. Hunters should ask permission on private lands whether or not it is posted. There are also abundant state lands, such as Wildlife Management Areas (WMAs) and some parks, on which to hunt.
Hunting supports wildlife conservation programs, through license fees and taxes on firearms and ammunition, including the successful Federal Aid in Wildlife Restoration program. It also provides substantial economic benefit to New York retailers and the tourism industry. Regulated hunting helps manage some wildlife populations to prevent crop and environmental damage.
Hunting is closely regulated by the Department of Environmental Conservation. The populations of wildlife hunted in New York are secure.
Hunters must complete a mandatory hunter education course to obtain a hunting license. Hunters following safety rules taught in those courses have made hunting one of the safest types of recreation.
Hunters also must report their harvest of deer, bear, and turkey.

Don't Veer for Deer
February might be the cruelest month, but October and November are two of the most dangerous months -- especially in upper Midwest states like Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota. There, cars encounter deer in an intimate and sometimes deadly way in staggering numbers. While the uninitiated warning against collisions might seem as useful as warning against meteor showers or being struck by errant bowling balls, the fact is that there are an estimated 1.75 million white-tailed deer in the state of Michigan alone, and neighboring states are home to similar numbers of the animals.
