Text — Law content up to date as of October 30, 2026, as published by the New York State Senate (Open Legislation)
§ 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 in an electronic or other acceptable format pursuant to regulations, 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. 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 in an electronic or other acceptable format pursuant to regulations, 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.
