BOWHUNTING SEASON START DATES ANNOUNCED
Calling all hunters! The time is finally almost here, get out the camo, thermos and boots, and be ready to land the big one this year. The DEC has announced the start date date for this year's deer and bear bowhunting season.
WGRZ shared the news that the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation has officially announced the start date for the 2018 deer and bear bowhunting season. In the northern zone, the season starts September 27th, and in the southern zone October 1st. A statement given by DEC Commissioner Basil Seggos said:
"New York is home to some of the best bowhunting opportunities in the nation. With mild weather, longer days, and deer in early season feeding patterns, the early bow season is a great time to be in the woods and a perfect opportunity to introduce new hunters to deer hunting,"
