[HISTORY: Adopted by the Town Board of the Town of Southold 5-28-2015 by L.L. No. 4-2015.[1] Amendments noted where applicable.]

Editor's Note: This local law was originally adopted
as Ch. 36 but was renumbered to maintain the organization of the Code.
This chapter shall be known as the "Hunting Law."
The State of New York has recently amended the New York Environmental
Conservation Law to allow towns in Suffolk County to waive the state
requirement that Town Clerks issue NYS DEC hunting permits. The Town
Board of the Town of Southold has determined that it would be in the
best interest of the Town of Southold to reduce the regulatory burden
placed on Town departments by exercising the option of waiving the
requirement that hunters obtain NYS DEC permits from the Town Clerk.
Pursuant to New York Environmental Conservation Law § 11-0903,
Subdivision 7c, and Chapter 266 of the 2014 Laws of New York, the
Town of Southold does hereby waive the New York State requirement
that deer hunters in the Town of Southold obtain a New York State
Department of Environmental Conservation special permit to hunt deer
during the Suffolk County deer-hunting season.
