Big game hunting permanently authorized in Orleans County

Governor Cuomo signed legislation on September 13 that permanently authorizes big game hunting in Orleans County and allows rifle hunting to take place between November 16 and December 8 this year. The newly-signed law also authorizes pistols, rifles, crossbows, longbows, muzzle-loaded firearms and shotguns to be used when hunting big game.

Assemblyman Steve Hawley (R,C,I-Batavia) said, “Hunting is such an important staple of our culture here in Western New York and a fall tradition that many families look forward to each year. Permanently protecting this tradition is very important to me and the thousands of hunters I represent across the 139th Assembly District.”
