2006 New York Code - Interference With Lawful Taking Of Wildlife Prohibited.



 
  § 11-0110. Interference with lawful taking of wildlife prohibited.
    1.  As  used  in this section "wildlife" means wild game and all other
  animal life existing in a wild  state,  including  fish,  shellfish  and
  crustacea,  and "process of taking", in addition to any act described in
  subdivision thirteen  of  section  11-0103  of  this  article,  includes
  travel,  camping,  and  other acts preparatory to taking, which occur on
  lands or waters  upon  which  the  affected  person  has  the  right  or
  privilege to take such wildlife.
    2.  A  person  is  guilty  of  interfering  with  the lawful taking of
  wildlife when, with intent to prevent the taking of wildlife, in season,
  in a place where hunting, fishing or trapping is lawful, and by a person
  properly licensed to take such wildlife, he:
    (a) strikes, shoves, kicks or otherwise subjects the  licensed  person
  to physical contact, or attempts or threatens to do the same; or
    (b)  follows the licensed person in or about such place and engages in
  a course of conduct or repeatedly commits acts which alarm or  seriously
  annoy such licensed person and which serve no legitimate purpose.
    Notwithstanding  any  other  provision  of law to the contrary, no one
  shall be arrested for violation of this section by  other  than  a  duly
  designated  peace  officer  acting  pursuant to his special duties, or a
  police officer.
