FISH, GAME AND FOREST LAWS OF NEW YORK The laws for the protection, preservation and propagation of birds, fish and wild animals in the State of New York were codified and re-enacted by the Legislature in 1892, amended in 1893 and 1894, revised and re-enacted and consolidated with the forest laws in 1895, and further amended in 1896, 1897, 1898 and 1899. The laws are officially known as "The Fisheries, Game and Forest Law," and constitute Chapter 31 of the general laws. They are also known as Chapter 488 of the Laws of 1892, as amended by the Legislature each year since. The term "close season" is that period of time during which an act is prohibited. Kings, Queens and Suffolk counties and Long Island Sound and the Thousand Islands have special laws. The deer law of Long Island has been subjected to important change. A law has been enacted which makes the catching and killing of beaver in New York State a misdemeanor, and the party so catching or killing liable to a penalty of $50 for each offense. An important law says, in substance, that any person owning land which he reserves as private fishing premises, if thereafter stocked by the State from any of the hatcheries, hatching stations, or by fish furnishers at the expense of the State, shall be and remain open to the public to fish therein the same as though the private park law had never existed." Another law states that "No trout of any kind, salmon trout or land locked salmon shall be taken away from any of the waters of this State for the purpose of stocking a private pond or stream, except that the owner of such private pond may, upon the written consent of the fisheries, game and forest commission, take any such fish from any stream of water running through premises owned by him, solely for the purpose of being placed in such private pond." The law in its application to fresh water also provides for the licensing of nets. If nets are licensed and have a tag on, the protectors and foresters can identify the owner of a net illegally used, and if the tag is missing the net can be destroyed. The law prohibits the polluting of streams or taking fish by drawing off water or by dynamite, or from a stream to stock a private pond or stream. No fishing through the ice in waters inhabited by trout or salmon. DEER, WILD-Close season, Nov. 15 to Aug. 15. No person shall kill or take alive more than two deer in one season.
