Same here. One of the guys that I hunt with is a prison guard and knows the laws very well out there. Another guy knows a game warden very well too, I don't know the actual name for a game warden in NY, and they use them and never said they were illegal.

I think the Garmin GPS radios have some nice features. You can find the exact location of another person that is using a Garmin GPS radio and it will tell you the distance between you and the person you are talking to. These features are only good froma Garmin GPS radio to another Garmin GPS radio.
