New York State Rifle & Pistol Association Thanks Legislators on Mentored Hunting Program

TROY, NY (06/25/2008)(readMedia)-- Companion bills A-11033 and S-8228 have just received final approval by the State Assembly and Senate respectively. This legislation creates a junior big game mentored hunting program for 14-15 year olds under which they can hunt with firearms while under the supervision of an experienced adult hunter. The New York State Rifle & Pistol Association thanks Assemblywoman Francine Delmonte and Senator Dale Volker for sponsoring these bills. We urge Gov. Patterson to sign this legislation promptly so it will be in effect for the fall hunting season.
