We just reloated to the Fingerlakes Region of Western Upstate New York from down South in Georgia. Being an avid Bowhunter and Muzzleloader I am interested in hunting opportunites in this area. However, I hear that I have to take a ' Bowhunter Safety Course' ? and also take a ' New York Hunters Safety Course' ?

I was not required to have hunters safety in Georgia because of my age yet took it anyway with my teenaged daughter. Do I have to take another one here? or is my Georgia Hunters Safety Certificate good in New York?

Georgia also does not require a Bowhunter Safety Course at all. Can someone tell me about this as it is totally new to me. Where would I take it? When is it offered? Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance... replies -- by BBS or by e-mail are appreciated.
