Delaware County Federation of Sportsmen Clubs
WHEREAS the present rules and regulations relating to Spring Turkey Hunting allows them to be hunted from sunrise until noon and
WHEREAS these hours were based upon the belief that it would protect the nesting habits of the hen turkey and
WHEREAS this belief has since been disproved by scientific and biological research as well as by many states that have an all day season with no detrimental effects and
WHEREAS the turkey population in New York State has been stable and adequate for many years and
WHEREAS hunting plays only a small part in the mortality of turkeys
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the NYSCC seek a change in the DEC rules and regulations that would allow the hunting of turkeys during the spring season from 1/2 hour before sunrise to l/2 hour after sunset.
