Hello from Montana Our season runs this year from Oct.27 to Dec1 and we can hunt all the big game that you have a tag for. Tags are bought over the counter for deer, elk, and black bear. If you wish to hunt cow elk and doe deer you must put in for a permit which has to be in by the first of June. Moose, Goat, Big horn Sheep and Lion Must be in by the first of May. Our back country season starts the Sept. 1 and runs to Dec.1. The only place you can't hunt here is National Parks and Indian lands. As far as I konw all states have a firearms season We do not have a Muzzleloader season yet but you can hunt with the smoke pole durning the rifle season. Hope this answers some questions

Thanx for the info guys.I misunderstood the gunlaw thing,so it is only in the cities as you mentioned.Thanks again.It is totally different here with us.We hunt 1May to 31Aug but there is certain animals you need and need not permits for.Varminting is all year round and with special permits you can hunt all year round.

The problem to visit you guys is that I must pay R10-00(Rand) to get US$1.
(but i can always talk to the bank manager)

Big Five ...in Ny hunting season opens sept 15 for what is called early bear. on the 27 of sept the bow season opens for any large game. Most small game [ rabbits,upland birds, grey squirrel, ducks & geese, ect.] opens on Oct.1......Big game which is nomally rifle season ( although you may still use a bow or black powder) opens the third saturday in Oct and runs until the first sunday of Dec. Most varmit hunting ( coyotes fox bobcat) opens on the third sat in oct also but runs till the end of march. Small game also goes till the end of March. Duck and geese closes sometime in Nov and is regulated by the federal goverment instead of the individual state gov.
Guns are allowed in every individual state in the U.S. as is hunting. The gun laws vary state to state but not that much. Each state sets its own hunting seasons and limits.
The only weapons that must be registered in the U.S. are fully automatic weapons and in some states pistols.
Things like red squirrel, chipmunks certain birds and ground hogs have no season in N.Y.
Crows in N.Y. are also regulated with a season.

Between hunting and fishing we can go year round in NY.
