RE: NY Conservation Officers
In the past 10 or so years I have seen a number of them, this past trout opener I saw 6 sitting at a boat launch handing out tickets like candy to anyone with no inspections on their trailers, unlicensed trailers / boats and they had one guy sitting back like the cops do when they have a road side check point in case you turn around. But I have never seen a DEC officer while I was hunting.
