Editor’s Note: The recent discovery of CWD is in Herkimer County, not Jefferson County as previously reported.
For the first time since 2005, chronic wasting disease has been discovered in New York, this time in a deer at an unnamed private facility in Herkimer County, in upstate New York.
At press time, the incident was still considered isolated. While not detected in wild deer in the area, state officials are taking measures to test local wild deer herds for the debilitating disease that is fatal to white-tailed deer, and are prepared for more extreme measures should they be deemed warranted.
There’s no better time to talk about the whitetail rut

The Southern Zone crossbow season begins Nov. 2, but more New York crossbow hunters have been afield already this autumn than during any other. That’s because of an Americans with Disabilities Act program that allows hunters with physical limitations to use a crossbow throughout New York’s archery seasons.
Although the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation began issuing the permits through the Reasonable Accommodation To Use an Unmodified Crossbow During The Regular Bow Season program as early as 2021, it began openly promoting and offering it last year, at which point roughly 3,800 hunters across the state had applied.
Claiming gun violence in New York City has declined 47% since she took office, Gov. Kathy Hochul also signed package of six bills that she said will further strengthen New York’s gun laws.
Included in the package is a bill passed earlier this year by both houses that now requires firearms dealers to post tobacco-style safety warnings. Hochul also said in a press release that law enforcement agencies statewide have seized over 7,700 illegal guns so far this year.

Although New York’s bear hunting and archery seasons for deer have been open for a while, and there was the September antlerless deer hunt in parts of the Southern Zone, things amped up when the Northern Zone muzzleloading season began the weekend before going to print with this edition.
And of course, the talk, and even the misinformation, continues regarding the new plain paper, print-your-own tag system implemented this year.

If you’ve been reading the articles in this publication, then you know that our friends at the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation are optimistic for a solid deer harvest this fall.
Here in the Northern Zone, where I do most of my hunting, DEC biologists are encouraging hunters not to be overly hesitant when it comes to antlerless deer opportunities. Deer populations, they say, are robust. I consider them experts, trust their insight and I certainly hope they are correct.
