Central NY hunting season dates

"Hey, there's a rabbit… are they in season yet?"
"I just got three squirrels… wait what's the bag limit?"

With so many hunting regulations in New York, questions like these can come up often. Uncertainty about the answers can mean letting a sure shot walk off, or worse, inadvertently making an illegal kill.

Everyone has their own method for staying on top of the regulations. I wanted to share the method I use because I suspect it might be helpful for others as well.

Each year I update the following document with new season dates; then I print and cut it out and it folds nicely to fit in my wallet. You're welcome to print a copy for yourself if you find it useful:




A few words of warning: These dates and regulations are valid for most WMUs in central and western New York, but not all. It is also possible that I have made a mistake somewhere on this document, so please use it at your own risk. Before you use this document you should read through the DEC rule book and double check that the dates and regulations are all correct for the specific places you plan to hunt.

Happy hunting!
