Hi John, Gary, David and all, Then every municipality, village, town, city, county, borough, etcetera that wanted to get out from under the state's exclusive authority to regulate hunting could easily do so, because even though local "no hunting" ordinances are not valid, local "no discharge" ordinances would trump DEC's authority? Did you know that Ithaca's "no discharge" code is not limited to firearms? It includes projectile weapons of diverse kinds (air guns, spring guns, slingshots, and any other instruments or weapons). If that's valid, then it achieves an effective ban on hunting by any means except perhaps running down your prey and throttling it with your bare hands! :-) -Geo Kloppel On Nov 17, 2015, at 10:32 AM, John VanNiel <john.vann...@flcc.edu<mailto:john.vann...@flcc.edu>> wrote: Yes, I believe that is exactly what it means. For example, hunting can involve other implements besides guns. So a no firearms ban is not the same as a no hunting ban. -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: Welcome and Basics<http://www.northeastbirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME> Rules and Information<http://www.northeastbirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES> Subscribe, Configuration and Leave<http://www.northeastbirding.com/CayugabirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm> Archives: The Mail Archive<http://www.mail-archive.com/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html> Surfbirds<http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds> BirdingOnThe.Net<http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html> Please submit your observations to eBird<http://ebird.org/content/ebird/>! -- -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
