DEC Announces Youth Pheasant Hunting Weekend for Western New York

A special youth-only pheasant hunting weekend will be held in Western New York on Oct. 12 and 13, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) announced today. The hunt will occur one week prior to the regular pheasant hunting season and provide junior hunters (ages 12 to 15 years old) with the opportunity to hunt pheasants with a licensed adult companion when fewer hunters are afield. The 2019-2020 regular pheasant season opens Oct. 19.
“The youth-only pheasant hunting weekend helps acclimate junior hunters to upland game bird hunting and provides a great opportunity for experienced hunters to share safe hunting values and skills with our future sportsmen and sportswomen,”said DEC Region 9 Director Abby Snyder.
Junior hunters must be accompanied by a licensed adult hunter during the youth pheasant hunt. Accompanying adults will not be allowed to possess a firearm or take a pheasant during this special season. During the two-day youth hunt, junior hunters will be allowed to take two birds per day, as allowed during the regular season. Pheasant hunting boundary descriptions can be found on DEC’s website or on page 43 of the 2019-2020 Hunting and Trapping Regulation Guide. All other pheasant hunting regulations remain in effect.
A special permit will be required to hunt at Joseph Davis, Golden Hill, and Wilson-Tuscarora State Parks in Niagara County. An individual permit will be required to hunt on Saturday, Oct. 12, and Sunday, Oct. 13. This year’s youth hunt will allow for a second youth hunter to be named on the permit. There will be two separate hunts each day that a permit is required: the first hunt will be from sunrise until 12:30 p.m.; the second hunt will be from 12:30 p.m. until sunset.
Junior hunters interested in entering the Permit Lottery at Golden Hill, Wilson-Tuscarora, and Joseph Davis State Parks should mail a separate, standard-size file card for each date and park that they would like to hunt. Only one permit will be issued to each hunter per day. Cards may be put into an envelope for each respective park and mailed together to the appropriate addresses below:

Information on the file card should include the junior hunter’s name, address, telephone number, e-mail address, hunting license back tag number, hunt date, and desired park location. Entries will be computerized to avoid duplications. All lottery entries must be received by noon on Friday, Sept 27. Questions regarding the permit lottery, should be directed to the respective Park Managers at the numbers provided. There is no fee for the permit and junior hunters awarded permits will have the option of naming one additional junior hunter on their permit.

Steuben legislators give initial approval to proposed law; set formal budget dates

BATH — Steuben County legislators took the first step Monday in setting up a new traffic diversion law and approved important dates for the county’s 2020 budget. If adopted in late October, the law would allow the county District Attorney’s office to give drivers charged with traffic violations and related misdemeanors the option of taking a driver education program approved by the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles. Supporters say the diversion program will allow drivers to improve their skills and increase road safety in the county. Legislators also approved 10 p.m. Nov. 14 for the annual budget presentation by county Manager Jack Wheeler, with 11:30 a.m. Nov. 25 set for the public hearing on the proposed 2020 budget. That budget will be worked on by the county Legislature’s Finance at their special budget workshop set to follow the committee’s regular 9:30 a.m. meeting on Oct. 8 in the legislative committee room. The committee members face the annual challenge of providing services to county residents and developing a solid economic base while state-mandated costs add significant charges onto property owners.


Anticipated expenses in 2020 include soaring costs for the county District Attorney’s office and Sheriff’s Department due reforms in the state’s Criminal Justice Reform Act and the new centralized arraignment system imposed by the state two months ago. While county legislators approved Monday additional personnel in the district attorney and sheriff’s offices, costs are expected to continue to rise, with more changes to the state’s criminal procedure law expected to take effect Jan. 1. Steuben’s current budget is $191 million with a property tax levy of $50 million. The current average tax rate is $8.25 per $1,000 assessed value, slightly less than the rate in 2018. Actual property taxes will depend on the equalization rate of the town in which property owners reside. In other action Monday, Steuben legislators accepted the 2019 State Homeland Security Program Grant of nearly $130,000.

The grant will provide $32,500 to the Sheriff’s Office for terrorism prevention activities, with the remaining $97,500 used by the county Office of Emergency Services for emergency notification programs such as Ready Steuben and the volunteer responders’ service, “IamResponding.”
