Bring your questions and suggestions as we discuss all topics with these fellow sportsmen.

Discussion will be driven by what Members care/ask about, but count on learning about at least these topics:

– Fishermen/boat captains always have comments on slots and limits and timing of the announcements.  

– How the state run spring turkey sites gone (e.g. Barcelona Neck).  Is that oversight still needed?

– There are areas of state land in Montauk such as Hither Hills that seem like more hunting should be allowed.

– There are areas of EH/MTK that seem in need of prescribed burns to avoid wildfires.  Are downed pine beetle trees a risk?

– Recreational lobstering topics.  

– Any examples of avian flu on waterfowl populations observed?

– Any chance of an increased bag limit on Canada geese?  Tons of them around.

– Any special insights on lack of ducks?

– Any examples anywhere of successful anti litter campaigns or enforcement?

– Non resident, comercial-looking, fishing/shellfishing in our waters.  What’s up with that?  

– Upstate, the duck and goose seasons are short and too early.  Tons of geese everywhere.   Does complaining/suggesting to DEC help in maybe making changes?

Please arrive early or on time, as we expect a big turnout and have a lot to cover.
