New York State Rifle & Pistol Association Thanks Legislators on Deer Hunting Bills

TROY, NY (06/25/2008)(readMedia)-- Companion bills A-10163A and S-7112A have just received final approval by the State Assembly and Senate respectively. This legislation creates a one-year trial period during which deer can be hunted with a rifle in Madison County. The New York State Rifle & Pistol Association thanks Assemblyman Bill Magee and Senator David Valesky for seeing these bills through the Legislature. We urge Gov. Patterson to sign this legislation promptly so it will be in effect for the fall hunting season.
