No but all it says in their regs is that:
Rifle* Any centerfire Rifle.
* It is illegal to hunt with:
a fully automatic firearm;
an autoloading firearm that holds more than 6 shells (except an autoloading pistol with a barrel length under 8 inches);
any firearm equipped with a silencer.
I would guarantee you'd be arrested because the AR can hold more than 5 rounds. The prosecutor will simply show the idiots in the "jury" how easy it is to change the 5-round magazine for a 30-round mag.
Be smart, use a bolt rifle.
Not to sound like a jerk, but that's about the dumbest reason I've ever heard. If you are using a 5 round mag, they can't touch you.
"I would guarantee you'd be arrested"
Seriously? With that train of thought, our prisons would be filled to capacity with duck and goose hunters because the gun can hold more than three round if you take out the plug.
As long as you only have 5 round capacity mags on you, you'll be fine.
This is New York we're talking about. Common sense doesn't enter the equation.
