Gill-T

This is probably a result of the Salmon River guides and fishermen wanting to protect their money making steelhead run. Fishing out of Niagara County, I can tell you the only time I target steelhead is the August LOC because kings head East. This seems like an assault on the West-end fishermen. I like having options for species to target. This derby is getting less interesting every year! Don't fix what is not broke! We use statewide limits set by DEC fishery biologists to deal with conservation issues specific to individual species population goals-not some pay to play derby. Bring all trout-salmon categories back!

I believe they start deer hunting on the reservation in September. They are known to cross over the border of their sovereign nation onto the WMA and even private land with their AR rifles. Guys I know sitting in treestands during bow season have had native hunters walk under them and flip them the bird. Kind of scary facing someone with an AR while you have a bow.

There will be some potential rule changes coming to NY. Mandatory hunter orange and no deer drives allowed from what I am hearing.

The original posting was for the Alabama Swamp/Iroquis area.......the land of constant gun fire and human interaction since the beginning of time. Nothing has changed.
