NYS DEC OFFICERS on fringe of hunter harassment.

[McDonald]

I do a presentation about night calling for predators because that is where the encounters with hunters by Sheriff's Deputies and Local Police officers seem to cause the most confusion. I agree, teach them all you can so they have a good understanding of what a lawful person might be doing at 1 AM in a field with a gun and something shreiking like it is being tortured. I get calls at home all the time with questions. I agree to keep a book of regs with you, easiest way to clear up a disagreement on how they read is to have them there, protects you when you are doing everything right. I do like it when people suggest things that need to be taught becaue there usually is a need for it that we may not be aware of. Thanks for the suggestion but I'm slightly ahead of you..lol But keep the suggestions comming, I don't get offended easily.
