As the title says
How are “others” treated under hunting regulations?

To the best of my knowledge NYS law doesn't even recognize the "other" category of firearms. Given the political climate of our state government its probably best to keep it that way

Not a lawyer and dont know answer but believe it would be considered a "firearm" under NY Conservation law (which seems to be much broader in scope than NY Penal Law). Can't hold more than six "shells" including in magazine and chamber if semi-automatic. I dont think there is an actual definition for "firearm" within conservation law though. Best to check with a lawyer.

I think we need a bit more info.
Where are you, what and when are you hunting, and what specifically are you referring to?
To my knowledge there is no reference to "other" nor "firearm" (as I think you intend the term here), in DEC regs.
Now for example if you are hunting deer with something chambered in a centerfire rifle round in my county (Putnam) you are afoul of the local laws (archery / shotgun / muzzle / pistol only in Putnam). YMMV.
Welcome to the forum btw.

This ^^^^^^ and depending on what you are hunting in your specific DMU it is caliber specific to that game species. You would need to check the regulations for that Info. in whatever DMU that you plan to hunt in.
I doubt he meant rifle vs shotgun vs bow vs other.
Op, you’re better off checking a thread about simply owning “others”. Hunting is besides the point. Take a gander, there’s a few.

When I was thinking of an other I meant by an ar other as I know that they can have a detachable magazine and not look like a miscarriage for hunting in Broome county.

Given the round limitations why does removable even matter?

Just want to make a do all firearm for home defense and hunting
"Others" are of very dubious legality in NY just to own. Hunting has nothing to do with it. If it is legal to own, then you can hunt with it during firearms season with a 5rd magazine. The issue is that they are most likely NOT legal to own in NY and would fall under the Safe Act definition of an assault rifle, or be considered an unregistered pistol.

" Do all" tools of any kind rarely do anything they're meant for very well.
It's like trying to use Leatherman pliers instead of a real set of pliers. Good in a pinch but not as good as the real set.
Same goes with guns.

Make it a ten round fixed. Get an insert to make it a 5 round capacity for hunting, they make them. Keep the proper tools and parts handy for emergencies.

I know a guy with an AR Other/Firearm. He bought it from a gun shop already built. It actually says Other/Firearm on the receiver.
With that said he only shoots it in his backyard. He does not take it out in public. I got a chance to fire it and loved it. If I ever bought one, I would do the same. No way would I take it hunting or shooting at a NY public range for the reasons @Airborneguy listed. It could be charged as an unregistered AR pistol Assault Weapon.
I would buy one knowing that and just keep it at home.

Better to have a different gun for HD, shotgun or handgun. Put together a fixed mag AR if you want it for hunting.
Depending on where in Binghamton you are I certainly wouldn't want a rifle caliber with neighbors houses close.
