Just for clarification, this change is being implemented over 13 Wildlife Management Units (WMUs) not just on Howland's Island and the Refuge. WMUs do not follow political boundaries so it is difficult to just explain exactly where this hunting can now take place but it impacts the Muckrace

RE: [cayugabirds-l] DEC Mixed messages?

Yes, I believe that is exactly what it means. For example, hunting can involve other implements besides guns. So a no firearms ban is not the same as a no hunting ban. From: bounce-119905244-3493...@list.cornell.edu [mailto:bounce-119905244-3493...@list.cornell.edu] On Behalf Of Gary

Before I get any hate mail. please note that I am providing information, not supporting an opinion on crow hunting or hunting in general... Mark Miller is correct when he says that these rules are lenient as far as GAME SPECIES go, but there are many species in NY that are unprotected by law.
