ChemungI believe. If I remember correctly...

Do you think the results of the last election will effect the chances?

Unknown as of right now. Bigger threat is to firarms themselves. SPitzer already has a track record of very pro-gun control laws. Andrew Cuomo, incoming AG, is also anti-gun. We can only wait and see, but, in the mean time, please, please, please, help support the New York State Conservation Council. They are our more effective organization in protecting our rights, and they are once again having funding issues. If you can, join the NYSCC. If you're a member of a Federated R&G Club, ask them to support the NYSCC BAM program (Buck a Member). For an additional $1.00 tacked onto the annual dues, for the NYSCC, that money can make the difference in keeping the legislative VPs office in Albany open. They're a bit behind on their rent payment right now, and it ain't much that they need to pay.

I see another one which is unclear what region 8 or 9, where a hunter returned from deer hunting and discovered he had a shotgun wound to the shoulder. How do you not know you got shot by a slug?

I do not have a list of reported rifle bullets or shotgun slubs doing damage to structures. Last year, yes, we saw a couple (not in Southern Zone) but these incidents were not related to hunting.

that is one tough SOB!

In WNY, the only treestand accident I heard of happened in Randolph, and it was a pretty serious accident, requiring Mercy Flight trip to ECMC. That accident happened on the property (or adjacent to) I hunt.

I never heard about this? Approx. where did this accident occur?
