    RoofDog I too hunt in the Southern Tier of NY (Corning-Bath) and what you heard was partly true. The age restriction is supposed to be lowered but only to 14...not 12. As a matter of fact I have any and as much information as you would like regarding other states, their limits, numbers of accidents per age group etc., that I have tried to compile in order to better petition the Commisioning body of NY!
