The above headline is similar to what I posted on my personal Facebook page hours after enjoying a recent successful youth turkey hunt in Washington County (see Page 8).

A few days before the April 22-23 youth turkey hunting weekend, I headed for the hunting location in Washington County to put up a tent blind and do some quick scouting. It didn’t take long to find what I was looking for as I spotted three mature gobblers on the property. Between that sighting, and reports from the farmer who owns the property, I was confident my 13-year-old mentee, Josh Stone, of Hartford, might see some action.

The Gazzola v. Hochul lawsuit, which seeks to provide New York firearms dealers relief from a number of provisions put forth by new gun laws passed last year, will not be heard by the U.S. Supreme Court. In an April 21 ruling a unique Rule 11 petition that would’ve brought the case out of the New York City based Second Circuit court and moved it up to SCOTUS was denied.

While this WMA, paid for by sportsmen’s Pittman-Robertson dollars, is more about preserving habitat for predatory birds such as the short-eared owl, rough-legged hawk, northern harrier and other raptors, the hunter willing to walk to the more wooded sections of this 493-acre WMA may just find a spring gobbler or fall whitetail.

Parts of New York’s annual youth turkey hunting weekend were wet, but it didn’t stop several young gobbler hunters, and their mentors, from participating in the hunt, held April 22-23.
Across the state, many young hunters, ages 12-15, were out hunting with mentors such as parents, grandparents, older siblings, other relatives or family friends. In other cases, they were part of a number of special youth turkey hunting programs that provided education and connected them with mentors.

On March 20, the United States Second Circuit Court of Appeals, which is based in New York City, heard previous injunctions and temporary restraining order rulings on five lawsuits challenging provisions in Gov. Kathy Hochul’s Concealed Carry Improvement Act, and various other guns laws passed in June, 2022.
One of those cases, Gazzola v. Hochul, which seeks to provide relief to firearms dealers in New York from a number of provisions laid out in the new gun laws, is facing a decision on whether it should be immediately moved up the U.S. Supreme Court.
