You are mistaken. Electronic calls are LEGAL in New york.

From the NYSDEC FAQ page (www.dec.ny.gov/outdoor/8310.html)

"Q: Is it legal to use decoys and electronic calls to hunt deer?
A: Both decoys and electronic calls are legal to use for deer hunting in NY. You should exercise caution when transporting a deer decoy to and from the locations in the field. Some hunters wrap a strip of blaze orange material around the decoy when carrying it."

I know this is an old thread, but it's one of the top five Google search results for "electronic call legal deer new york".
