11-0705 - Failure to Carry License, Tag or Bowhunting And/or Muzzle-Loading Privileges.
§ 11-0705. Failure to carry license, tag or bowhunting and/or
muzzle-loading privileges.
1. a. The holder of a license, tag, bowhunting privilege or
muzzle-loading privilege defined in section 11-0701 of this title shall: (1) have such license, tag or privilege on the holder's person while
exercising any privilege of that license stated in section 11-0701 of
this title, or while assisting or accompanying a minor in hunting as
provided in section 11-0929 of this article, and
(2) shall exhibit it on demand to any police officer, peace officer or
owner, lessee or person in control of the lands or waters or the
designees of the owner, lessee or person in control of the lands or
waters on which the license holder is present.
2. a. Holders of a hunting license while exercising the privileges of
such license, shall have the back tag issued with their license attached
to and displayed on the back of the outer garment between the shoulders
in such manner that all figures are plainly visible at all times.
b. The license tag for the current year only shall be displayed.
c. Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs a and b of this
subdivision, a license holder shall not be required to display such
license tag in the Northern Zone or the Catskill Park.
3. Failure of a licensee to have the holder's license, tag or license
with bowhunting and/or muzzle-loading privilege included, on the
holder's person while hunting, fishing or trapping, is presumptive
evidence that the holder is hunting, fishing or trapping, as the case
may be, without holding the license, tag or license and bowhunting or
muzzle-loading privilege required by subdivision 6 of section 11-0703 of
this title.
