I also posed the question of the possibility of
Knox/Marcellus/Puddlers Marshes being closed on Saturday to hunting to
refuge management and staff. Below are excerpts of their response
which illustrates the reasoning behind the decisions to allow hunting
and birding for the Muckrace.
I contacted the DEC's Frank Morlock who heads the Northern Montezuma
Field Office on Morgan Rd. and below are excerpts of his response re:
WMU's open for the early antlerless deer season. Frank has been very
supportive of the Muckrace and has installed signage and alerted
hunters to the

The DEC is flat wrong to have tossed this on the schedule with the Muckrace
already planned. I sincerely hope they can be convinced it is a grave error
to proceed with the additional hunt. Were I planning to participate in the
Muckrace I would change that plan if the DEC doesn't yield on this.

I agree with this opinion and would add that rifles are now allowed for deer in
almost all counties in New York.
An argument could be made that this will increase or decrease safety for
others, but it certainly changes the lethal range for misses to 1000+ yards.

Hi Kyle & Steve, (& all)
Thanks for letting us know about the unprecedented early gun season on deer
which is planned to start during the Montezuma Muckrace in some of the best
birding areas. I have never heard of this conflict before, so it seems like
something new promoted by DEC. In my
Muckrace Participants,
We’d like to make all Muckrace participants aware of an early gun
season for deer which will start on September 11th, during the
Saturday portion of the Muckrace. NYSDEC Wildlife Management Units in
the Northern Complex fall within the areas open for
11 matches
