On the Governor calling for lowering hunting license fees:
Hard not to view this license fee lowering and streamling as Cuomo’s effort to reach out to hunters after the gun control law.

No. The last fee restructuring was seen by most as a mistake from the start. Plus any warm feelings this “outreach” might generate are going to be wiped away the first time hunters are forced to go through a state background check in order to to buy a box ammo.
UPDATE: As I was writing this a reporter from City & State called me on this issue. I’m quoted here.
