RE: NY Conservation Officers
I've been stopped a couple times - but basically just chatted with the officer. I don't think he ever asked me for a liscence. He knew we own property on the dead end road - and was asking if we'd had poaching problems.
Still some good points have been made. And the worst fact is that there is an underlying culture of hunters that use their wive's tags, or don't tag a few deer. Like was said - its known, and tolerated in many areas of the state.
I don't know how to change this - I don't think even 2X the COs would slove the problem.
Sorry I don't have an answer.
