New York State Rifle & Pistol Association Thanks Gov. Patterson for Signing Mentored Hunting Program Bills
TROY, NY (07/24/2008; 0743)(
readMedia)-- Companion bills
A-11033 and
S-8228 have just been signed by Governor Patterson. This legislation creates a junior big game mentored hunting program for 14-15 year olds in which they can hunt with firearms while under the supervision of an experienced adult hunter. The New York State Rifle & Pistol Association thanks Gov. Paterson for signing the bill, which represents a very positive first step in making hunting more available to juniors. The NYSRPA hopes to work closely with the Governor and Legislature on these issues in the future.
