NYS Duck & Goose Proposed Season for 06/07

[xtremesportsman]

here is the e-mail I just received from NYS DEC Training coordinator Long Island Region. These are the proposed dates for hunting waterfowl in NYS. They may change a bit depending on federal issues.


Dear Instructors and Waterfowlers:
Attached is an announcement of the TENTATIVE schedule for most of New
York's 2006-2007 waterfowl hunting seasons. The dates won't be
finalized until late summer when federal regulations are official.

You'll have see one of the attached (same document, different formats)
for upstate dates and other details, but FOR THE LONG ISLAND ZONE:
- September Canada goose season: September 5-September 30
- Youth Waterfowl hunting weekends November 11-12 (Saturday-Sunday)
- Regular duck hunting seasons: November 22 - November 26 and
December 5 - January 28

Keep in mind that when hunting in September for geese, hunters need a
LAST YEAR's (2005-2006) hunting license, but a NEW duck stamp, and a NEW
HIP number. (In previous years, it was an old license and old HIP #,
but this was changed last year so that the Federal requirements were the
same.)

"Stay Tuned" for an announcement of the Youth Waterfowl Program we run
in cooperation with Ducks Unlimited, SC Parks and South Shore
Waterfowlers Assoc. Or, stop by one or our displays at the upcoming DU
Long Island Outdoor Conservation Festival, June 10th in Flanders (call
518-488-9896 or [e-mail]
for more info). We should have a brochure available by then with more
info.




Frank.
