Commissioner John P. Cahill said today. The prospects for hunting success this fall in New York State are excellent.
Deer hunting is an important part of New York's heritage.
Families and friends have passed down this tradition for several generations. Today, more than half a million New Yorkers enjoy deer hunting each fall. Hunters will enjoy the benefits of decades of sound scientific deer management, and will help to manage deer populations at levels that are compatible with the needs of local people. I encourage everyone to have a safe and enjoyable deer season. The 1998 Southern Zone regular deer season runs until Tuesday, Dec. 8.
