7M, 7R,7S,8H, 8J, 8M, 8N, 8P, 8R, 8S, 9G and 9H
I hunt in 7M most of the season, so this is good to know. I have never seen a bear in 7M where I hunt, however I did have a Sow and 2 cubs on my back lawn at my old office building in Cortland, NY a couple of years ago. The bear population is increasing.
OTHER CHANGES IN NY:
Crossbows are now legal to hunt deer and bear in NY. They may ONLY be used during any big game season in which the use of a shotgun or muzzle loader is permitted and also LATE ML seasons. IF you decide to use a crossbow during the late ML season, then you must also posses the ML privilege stamp.
Crossbows are NOT allowed to be used during regular bow season or in areas of the state designated for Archery Only.
The Jr. bow hunting designation is now lowered from age 14 to age 12 / see pages 15 &17 for Jr. bow hunting regs.

Want to hunt with your 30-30 this fall and can't decide whether to use 150 grain or 170 grain bullets? My suggestion is to try both and see which one groups the best for you. Another alternative is to split the difference and try a box of the Hornady LeverEvolution 160 grain FTX ammo. Trajectory charts from Hornady show that when sighted 3 inches high at 100 yards, the ammo is spot on at 200 yards. It makes your 30-30 into a whole different rifle for hunting mixed woods and farm field whitetails.
I have done some range work with the Hornady LeverEvolution ammo in both my Marlin 45-70 and .35 Rem and both have proven to extend the range and are very accurate.
