ALBANY, N.Y. — New York State has launched a new Hunter Achievement Awards Program to recognize hunters and trappers who legally harvest game species.
The Department of Environmental Conservation says the program offers commemorative stickers for 24 game species, including wild turkey. Hunters and trappers must submit an entry form with a photo of their harvest within 30 days of the season closing.
“New York offers diverse and high-quality hunting and trapping opportunities,” said Commissioner Lefton. “These awards highlight not only the harvest, but also the commitment of hunters and trappers to conservation of natural resources across New York.”
Only legal harvests will be considered for awards.
More information on the awards can be found on the DEC’s website.
