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.”
