Delaware County to Hold Public Hearing on Youth Hunting Law Proposal

The Delaware County Board of Supervisors has scheduled a public hearing for Local Law Intro. No. 17 of 2024. This law would permit 12- and 13-year-old licensed hunters to hunt deer with firearms or crossbows under adult supervision. The hearing will take place on April 24, 2024, at 1:00 p.m. in the Board of Supervisors’ Room at the Senator Charles D. Cook County Office Building in Delhi, New York.

The proposed law is designed to allow young hunters in Delaware County to participate in hunting under regulated and safe conditions. It is consistent with Environment Conservation Law § 11-0935, which allows supervised youth hunting to support wildlife management and conservation.

The public is invited to share their views on the new law at the hearing. This will enable community members to contribute to the legislative process and impact decisions regarding local hunting regulations and youth participation in outdoor activities.

Information is also provided for disabled citizens who need assistance to attend the hearing or submit comments. They are encouraged to contact the Clerk of the Board’s office for the necessary arrangements.
