Q#1 A friend of mine who lives in Eastern MA wants to do some deer hunting in NYS next year (rifle). It being his first time, I told him he would need a hunter safety certificate to hunt there. Needless to say, he cannot drive to NY once a week to take the class. Would a Massachusetts safety cert. be sufficient for him to get a hunting license in NYS??

Q#2 Is it worth traveling to hunt the Catskill park or is it a zoo during shotgun??

Thanks
