Published: , in Outdoor News
Although small-game hunting seasons are still winding down in New York, the State Department of Environmental Conservation issued a hunter safety preliminary report, which, thus far, rates the 2024-25 seasons as the second safest on record.
DEC recently released its report documenting hunting-related shooting incidents (HRSIs) and tree stand/elevated hunting incidents and the agency said the numbers are consistent with the low incident rates observed across the state in recent years. A DEC press release said 11 HRSIs were documented in 2024, including four two-party firearm incidents and seven self-inflicted incidents.
