Good season expected for New York bear hunters with opener looming
Some big game seasons begin quite early in New York. Among them is the early black bear hunting season that runs from Sept. 6-21 in a limited number of southeastern New York Wildlife Management Units. These are located in Regions 3 and 4, near the Pennsylvania and New Jersey state lines, in New York’s Southern Zone.
New York’s sporting license year begins Sept. 1, and although a Canada goose season opens on that date, along with the small game season for gray squirrel, big game species remain at the forefront for hunters as well as the focus for the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation.
