October means hunting season across New York: Here are the highlights coming soon

For now, New York’s pilot junior hunting program has an extension. None of that will be on the minds of junior hunters – those ages 12 to 15 – when along with their mentors they head for  New York’s deer woods for the annual Columbus Day weekend youth hunt, Oct. 7-9.  The youth deer hunt is one of several hunting seasons that is either about to, or is already taking place in New York. That’s typical for October.
