Any resident of this state may be issued a falconry license. The
department shall prescribe and furnish forms for application for such
license. The fee for the license shall be forty dollars. Falconry
licenses shall expire on December 31 every fifth year and shall be
renewable at the discretion of the department. A falconry license shall
authorize the licensee to obtain, buy, sell, barter, possess and train
raptors for falconry and to engage in falconry, provided that no game
shall be taken or killed except during an open season therefor, and
further provided that such licensee shall also possess a license
pursuant to this chapter which authorizes the holder to hunt wildlife.
Any non-resident, who legally possesses a raptor where he or she resides
and who may legally engage in falconry where he or she resides, may
engage in falconry in New York without a falconry license provided he or
she possesses a valid non-resident hunting license.
