If one goes to the City of Ithaca code site (ecode 360) and searches "guns" or
"hunting", you will find information on the ban on the discharge of a gun in
the city and also of the ban on hunting in the city. The word "firearms" will

“Rights”, yes, Dave.
But along with rights go responsibilities. And one of those is to know the law
as it applies to you. The City, of course, needs to make clear the Code as it
applies to Stewart Park (signage). But that doesn’t excuse ignoring the law -
especially where firearms are concerne
My guess is that these hunters thought they were conducting themselves in a
manner consistent with NYSDEC regs, meaning that they have the right to
waterfowl hunt on Cayuga Lake as long they don't fire in the direction of a

Great come-back Dave. I guess they don't understand that if they obey

If it's true that the issue has already been resolved (last year, as Ken
suggests), perhaps the city should take a cue from other regional entities (the

Yet another good reason to buy a Duck Stamp. That way you can show your
support for conservation and that you are not against their activity per
