General Deer Hunting Information
Aside from archery season, New York offers a host of other ways to harvest whitetail deer. This includes rifles, shotguns (slugs), handguns and muzzleloaders. As one of the most popular outdoor sporting activities in the state, New York deer hunting – when controlled – is a vital tactic when it comes to managing, at times, overwhelming deer populations, contributing to striking an ecological balance in habitat and wildlife resources.
The legal non-archery hunting implements for big game in New York State (according to New York’s Department of Environmental Conservation) are described in the following:
- Rifle – Any centerfire rifle.
- Shotgun – Must be 20 gauge or larger and be capable of firing a single projectile; rifling in the choke or barrel is permitted.
- Handgun – Any centerfire pistol or revolver; maximum barrel length of 16 inches. (Note: Possession of handguns in New York State requires a New York State Pistol Permit, and hunters should know that New York does not recognize permits issued by other states.)
- Muzzleloader – This describes a firearm loaded through the muzzle with a minimum bore of .44 inches that’s capable of shooting a single projectile; fiber-optic sights or scopes may be implemented at any time. (Hunters must possess a New York State Pistol Permit to hunt with a muzzleloading pistol.)
