What must you always have on your person when hunting in New York?

  1. A hunting license

  2. A compass

  3. A map of the area

  4. An emergency whistle

The correct answer is: A hunting license

Hunting is regulated in New York State and a hunting license is required in order to legally hunt. Therefore, a hunting license is the most important item to have on your person when hunting in New York. While a compass, map of the area, and emergency whistle can be useful tools to have while hunting, they are not required by law. However, it is always recommended to have a map and compass to help navigate the area and an emergency whistle in case of an emergency.
