No Foolin: Trout season is here but opening day is going to be a wet and cold one. We know that won’t stop the “serious” trout anglers out there but the reality is that snow and cold weather is on tap for the opener. Stream anglers (not pond fishermen) need to know that DEC has a new trout stream plan that begins this season. Check it out here: https://www.dec.ny.gov/outdoor/111015.html. Also, the new regulations guide is only available online at this time but printed copies should be out soon. 

Turkey season is now just around the corner and if you’ve been watching birds, it’s likely you’re seeing large flocks. That’s common for this time of year but for the most part will likely not be the case by the time the spring gobbler season begins on May 1. Keep an eye on them birds, watch for the flocks to break up and hopefully you’ll be able to pin-point a tom to hunt on opening morning; or better yet, the youth hunting weekend, which is April 24-25. Also, in-person hunter education is now taking place along with the online course.  -Dan’l

Muddy Spring Conditions in the Adirondacks

ADKHunter.com Posted on 04/01/2021 by adkhunter04/01/2021

The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) today urged hikers to postpone hikes on trails above 2,500 feet until high elevation trails have dried and hardened. As snow and ice continue to melt at high elevations, steep trails can pose a danger to hikers due to thick ice and deep, rotten snow. Thin soils are susceptible to erosion and sensitive alpine vegetation can be easily damaged.

Despite recent warm weather, high elevation trails are still covered in slowly melting ice and snow. These steep trails feature thin soils that become a mix of ice and mud as winter conditions melt and frost leaves the ground. The remaining compacted ice and snow on trails is rotten, slippery, and will not reliably support weight. These conditions, known as “monorails,” are difficult to hike and the adjacent rotten snow is particularly prone to postholing.

Hikers are advised to take extreme caution on low elevation trails. Hikers will encounter variable conditions such as thick mud, flooded areas, and deep slushy snow. Backcountry streams are particularly susceptible to high waters and flooding due to consistently melting snow from high elevations mixing with spring rainfall. Hikers should not attempt stream crossings during periods of high, fast moving water. The stream water is very cold and hikers who fall in can become immediately hypothermic.

Avoiding high elevation trails during the Muddy Trail Advisory helps to alleviate impacts to the trail tread due to erosion and protects alpine vegetation. When encountering mud on low elevation trails, hikers should walk through the mud instead of around it to help reduce trail widening and minimize damage to trailside vegetation.

DEC encourages hikers to avoid all trails above 2,500 feet in the Adirondacks, particularly high elevation trails in the Giant and High Peaks Wilderness areas, including the former Dix Mountain Area in the northern Adirondacks. Please avoid the following trails until trail conditions improve: 

  • High Peaks Wilderness – all trails above 2,500 feet where wet, muddy, snow conditions still prevail, specifically Algonquin, Colden, Feldspar, Gothics, Indian Pass, Lake Arnold Cross-Over, Marcy, Marcy Dam – Avalanche – Lake Colden, which is extremely wet, Phelps Trail above Johns Brook Lodge, Range Trail, Skylight, Wright, all “trail-less” peaks, and all trails above Elk Lake and Round Pond in the former Dix Mountain Area;
  • Giant Mountain Wilderness – all trails above Giant’s Washbowl, “the Cobbles,” and Owl Head Lookout;
  • McKenzie Mountain Wilderness – all trails above 2,500 feet where wet, muddy, and snowy conditions still prevail, specifically Whiteface, Esther, Moose and McKenzie mountains; and
  • Sentinel Range Wilderness – all trails above 2,500 feet where wet, muddy, snowy conditions still prevail, specifically Pitchoff Mountain. 

DEC urges hikers to postpone these hikes until further notice to protect the Adirondack trail system. Until conditions improve, hikers are encouraged to explore lower elevation trails close to home and enjoy other forms of recreation.

Attn. Hikers: Permits needed to hike in ADK Mountain Reserve

ADKHunter.com Posted on 04/01/2021 by adkhunter04/01/2021

The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) and Adirondack Mountain Reserve (AMR) announced the launch of a pilot reservation system that was developed in partnership to provide reliable access and address public safety at a particularly crowded corner on Route 73 in the town of Keene in the Adirondack High Peaks region. The reservation system, operated by AMR, will facilitate safer public access to trailheads through the AMR gate and for Noonmark and Round mountains and improve visitors’ trip planning and preparation by ensuring they have guaranteed parking upon arrival.

The pilot reservation system complements state and local efforts already underway to reduce dangerous and illegal parking in the vicinity of the AMR  property, including variable electronic message boards and additional signage, bolstered  social media outreach and education, and increased law enforcement presence and parking enforcement. In recent years pedestrian traffic, illegal parking, and roadside stopping along Route 73 have created a dangerous environment for hikers and motorists alike. 

Beginning May 1, and through Oct. 31, 2021, DEC and AMR will require reservations for the 70 available parking spots at the AMR parking lot for daily access to trails on AMR property, as well as the Round Mountain and Noonmark Mountain trailheads accessed through AMR lands. Walk-in users without a reservation will not be permitted. Those arriving to Keene Valley via Greyhound or Trailways bus lines may access with a valid bus ticket from within 24 hours of arrival. Those arriving by bus must check in at the AMR hiker parking lot. The AMR parking lot is only accessible between the hours of 5 a.m. and 7 p.m. daily, with the exception of overnight parking.

DEC Looking to Update Usage Regs of WMAs

ADKHunter.com Posted on 03/25/2021 by adkhunter03/25/2021

The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) today released a draft proposal for public comment that would update regulations governing public use of the State’s vast network of Wildlife Management Areas (WMAs). DEC is proposing these amendments to protect natural resources, promote public safety, and help ensure the multiple uses of New York’s WMAs remain compatible with natural resource protection and visitor interest. The proposed changes would help bring consistency with existing rules for state forests, campgrounds, and other DEC lands, and codify rules and guidance already in place at many WMAs to make these rules enforceable. DEC is accepting public comments on the draft proposal until May 24.

New York State has more than 120 WMAs containing nearly 250,000 acres, including 124,000 acres of forests and grasslands and 53,000 acres of wetlands. DEC’s Bureau of Wildlife manages an additional 38,000 acres of land, including Unique Areas and Multiple Use Areas, for a total of approximately 150 areas that thousands of New Yorkers visit and enjoy each year.

The regulatory proposal is available on the DEC website for review and public comment until May 24, 2021. Comments on the proposal should be submitted via e-mail to wildlife@dec.ny.gov or via mail to Bureau of Wildlife, NYSDEC, 625 Broadway, Albany, NY 12233-4754. Please use subject line “Part 51 Regulations” for emails or letters.

In the draft regulations currently out for public comment, DEC is proposing to update and clarify existing regulations defining the allowable activities and uses of WMAs. The proposals continue to prioritize activities that include hunting, fishing, trapping, and wildlife viewing. Among other proposed updates, the draft regulations would: Continue reading →

ADKHunter.com Posted on 03/22/2021 by adkhunter03/25/2021

The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) is encouraging the public to comment on the draft Recreation Management Plan (RMP) for Flatrock Mountain Conservation Easement. The 511-acre Flatrock Mountain Conservation Easement tract is located southwest of Old Forge in the town of Webb, Herkimer County, between State Route 28 and Middle Branch Moose River.
The draft RMP proposes:

  • A 0.5-mile multiple use hiking, mountain biking, and skiing recreational trail.
  • 0.7 miles of new snowmobile trail also open to hiking and mountain biking.
  • Construction of a new lean-to near the top of Flatrock Mountain.
  • Designation of an existing logging road and snowmobile trail for ATV use by people with mobility impairments who hold a Motorized Access Program for People with Disabilities (MAPPWD) permit.
  • Construction of two accessible parking spaces along with a nearby informational kiosk; and
  • Construction of a three-car parking lot at the trailhead for one of the new trails off Minnehaha Road.

The draft RMP and a PowerPoint presentation are available for public review. During the State’s continued response to COVID-19, DEC is not holding an in-person public meeting. DEC will accept public comments through April 23, 2021, by email: r6.ump@dec.ny.gov or by regular mail, addressed to Michael Marsh, Forester, NYS-DEC 225 N. Main Street Herkimer, NY

2021-22 Waterfowl Meetings & Anticipated Dates

ADKHunter.com Posted on 03/03/2021 by adkhunter03/04/2021

DEC and Waterfowl Hunter Task Force Seeking Input on 2021-2022 Canada Goose and Special Season Dates
DEC and the Waterfowl Hunter Task Forces are seeking input on your preferences for Canada goose, brant, scaup, youth, and military hunting season dates. Season frameworks for each zone:

In the West Central, East Central, Northeast, Lake Champlain, and Hudson Valley are anticipated to be 30 days long with a one-bird bag limit;
In the South Zone where very few migratory geese are harvested will remain 80 days with a 5-bird bag limit.
The Long Island goose zone season lengths and bag limits will remain the same length as last year.
Brant season is expected to be 50 days long with a two-bird bag limit.
The scaup season will be a “hybrid season” similar to 2020-21, where the bag limit will be two per day for 20 days and a one-bird limit for the remaining 40 days.
Please provide your feedback to: mailto:seasonwaterfowl@dec.ny.gov. Comments will be forwarded to the appropriate task force members. Be sure to include the waterfowl hunting zone that your comments apply to in the e-mail subject line.

Anticipated 2021-2022 Duck Season Dates
Starting with the 2019-2020 duck season, DEC, with the assistance of Cornell University and the Waterfowl Hunter Task Forces, implemented a structured process for selecting duck season dates in the four main zones of the state. The process incorporated input from a greater number of duck hunters through a survey and recent duck migration and abundance trends that were specific to each zone to maximize opportunity. With no changes anticipated in the federal frameworks (i.e., season length) for 2021-2022, the duck seasons dates in each zone will be:

Northeastern Zone: October 2nd – October 24th and October 30st – December 5th
Southeastern Zone: October 16th – November 28th and December 4th – December 19th
Western Zone: October 16th – November 7th and November 27th – January 2rd
Long Island Zone: November 2oth – November 28th and December 11th – January 30th

For more information on how these dates were determined for each zone, visit DEC’s website: https://www.dec.ny.gov/outdoor/40737.html. DEC intends to reassess hunter values after the 2023-2024 hunting season. At that time, DEC will also update duck migration data to ensure there have been no significant changes to the timing of duck movements through each zone.

Lake Champlain Zone Virtual Public Hearing
Waterfowl hunting seasons in the Lake Champlain Zone are set by the Vermont Fish and Wildlife Management Board with input from DEC and waterfowl hunters in New York and Vermont. Although there is no formal task force for this zone, hunters are invited to attend a virtual public hearing on the status of migratory game bird populations and proposed 2021 migratory game bird hunting seasons for Vermont and the Lake Champlain Zone in New York on Thursday, March 11 at 6:30 p.m. For more information, including the season recommendation and to join the online hearings, go to the Vermont Fish and Wildlife website  and click on the “Public Hearings Schedule” on the home page.

In addition to the public hearings, anyone can provide feedback on the season dates to DEC by email to: seasonwaterfowl@dec.ny.gov or directly to the Vermont Fish and Wildlife Management Board by calling 802-265-0043 or by emailing ANR.FWPublicComment@vermont.gov.

The deadline for comments is Wednesday, March 31. Comments received, as well as input and recommendations from the Vermont Fish and Wildlife Department and the New York Department of Environmental Conservation, will be reviewed by the Vermont Fish and Wildlife Board in making final 2021 hunting season decisions.

DEC Releases Draft Deer Management Plan

ADKHunter.com Posted on 12/01/2020 by adkhunter12/03/2020

The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation announced the release of a draft Deer Management Plan for New York State for public review and comment. The plan builds upon the progress made by DEC’s first deer management plan, released in 2011, and will guide DEC’s deer management actions to balance natural resource protection, public safety, and recreational and economic interests for the next 10 years. The draft plan is available on DEC’s website and public comments will be accepted through Dec. 28, 2020.

The plan includes proposals for extending legal hunting hours to be from one half our before sunrise until one half hour after sunset. It also contains a proposed regulation change to extend the late bow and muzzleloader season in the Southern Zone to include the period from December 26 to January 1. DEC received several thousand comments through Nov. 8, 2020 on this proposed regulation, and those comments are presently under review as part of that public regulatory process.

The draft plan details a new method for setting deer population objectives that integrates an assessment of deer impacts on forests with public preferences for deer population changes. It emphasizes new and adaptive approaches for harvesting antlerless deer by recommending strategic hunting season and tag changes in rural landscapes where additional harvest is needed and developing new opportunities for community-based deer management in suburban and urban landscapes.

A summary of the accomplishments from the first plan, many of which have become integrated into DEC’s deer management program, is also included. In addition, the plan provides greater transparency into the processes behind deer management including the methodology for setting Deer Management Permit (DMP, antlerless tag) quotas and the calculations for estimating annual deer harvest totals. Finally, this plan identifies a series of statutory recommendations that would improve deer management capacity throughout New York.

Significant elements of the Draft Plan include:

  • Establishing desired deer population trajectories (more deer, fewer deer, stay the same) for 23 regions of the state by aggregating existing deer management units, including deer impacts on forest regeneration with new tools like AVID (see below), and considering public preferences for deer population change;
  • Monitoring deer populations for diseases such as Chronic Wasting Disease and taking steps to reduce disease risk;
  • Recommending several hunting-related changes to provide additional hunter opportunity such as a Southern Zone holiday hunt, special seasons to meet local objectives, and increasing antlerless harvest where deer population reduction is warranted;
  • Maintaining a voluntary approach for letting young bucks go and re-evaluating the existing mandatory antler restriction program for consistency with hunter values and management objectives;
  • Encouraging voluntary use of non-lead ammunition (such as copper) by deer hunters to reduce human and wildlife exposure to lead by ingestion;
  • Pursuing regulatory mechanisms to improve the Deer Management Assistance Program and Deer Damage Permit program so landowners and municipalities can reduce deer damage and deer-human conflicts;
  • Providing technical assistance for community-based deer management including local hunting programs, suburban/urban hunter-training workshops, and other management tools;
  • Exploring the potential for a small grants program to assist communities in developing local deer management plans and implementing actions from those plans;
  • Promoting the Assessing Vegetation Impacts of Deer (AVID) protocol for citizen science monitoring of deer browse impacts on forests; and
  • Better understanding and addressing public values and interests regarding deer populations, impacts, and deer management decisions.

 

Comments on the draft plan should be sent to wildlife@dec.ny.gov (using “Deer Plan” in the subject line) or by mail to: DEC Deer Management Plan, NYSDEC, 625 Broadway, Albany, NY 12233-4754. The public comment period closes on Dec. 28, 2020. After reviewing public comments on this draft, DEC will amend the plan before adopting and publishing a final version. Some recommendations will require new or amended state regulations and these regulatory proposals will be subject to an additional public comment period during the formal rulemaking process.
