Section 11-1003. Falconry license

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 twenty dollars. Falconry
  licenses shall expire on December 31 every  second  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.
