Law legalizes rifle hunting in Wyoming County

Law legalizes rifle hunting in Wyoming County – A bill allowing rifle hunting in Wyoming County has become law.  The legislation cleared its last legal hurdle last Wednesday night when it was signed by Gov. Andrew Cuomo. It becomes effective immediately, although the big game season won’t start until Nov. 19.  “As an avid hunter myself, I am pleased that Wyoming County will join with many other counties across the state to provide more opportunities for sportsmen and women in Western New York,” said Assemblyman Daniel Burling, R-Warsaw in a news release. “This will encourage new economic growth and promote outdoor recreation in Wyoming County, beginning in the fall hunting season.”
