IDK if im reading it wrong but in 3), I count 3 bucks?

I do not ML, so I never have paid attention to the tags. Where are these rules layed out in the nys dec book/website?? I just assumed 3 seasons..3 bucks. Why should the bow season affect your ML season???

So let see if I take a buck with the bow
take another buck in regular season
I then have no tags left for late m/l season unless I have a doe tag?

I should have said "or" not "and" a buck or doe in reg season. sorry.

The deer tag rules are on pg 24. Im not sure why you think bow season affects ML season, but basically its like this - you get an either sex BOW/ML tag ,which can be use for a buck or doe, in early bow season, or ML/late bow season, which runs concurrent. You can take another buck during gun or "regular season" (same thing) w/ you reg season tag, (the one w/ the buck head on it) or if you didnt get a buck in reg. season,you can use the reg season tag, in late bow ML season, to take a buck or doe. So you see there are only 2 tags you can use to take a buck. Hope that helps.

I don't think that is true. I bought both my muzzleloader and archery, and I got an EITHER sex tag and a DOE tag for them. If I shoot a buck with my bow, I can only shoot 1 more buck, and that is with my regular season tag.
I could shoot 2 does with my bow or my muzzleloader, but not 2 bucks, unless I use my regular season tag. If I get a buck with my bow, and with my gun, I can only shoot a doe with my muzzleloader.

Yes you do. You get whatever DMP's you get, if any, but when you purchase both Archer and Muzzleloader, you get 2 tags. One is an either sex, the other is a doe tag.

If you purchase ONLY archery, or ONLY muzzleloader, than you only get the either sex tag.

Any left over tags can be used in Muzzleloader season.Also left over bow tags can be used in archery season in northern zone,being the season starts there on sept 27th.

o.k. here we go again
I have only now a bow stamp
I can take a deer of either sex:correct
I don't have a DPM permit so in gun season buck only;correct
now I fill my bow tag:deer of eith sex
filled my buck tag during regular gun season:O.K. now no more tags ;correct
I now go back and purchase a M/L stamp: I can go out with this stamp and black powder hunt and still take a deer of either sex: correct
amen

No you are not correct. YOU CANNOT TAKE 3 BUCKS. If you were only issued one BOW/MZ either sex tag, then add muzzleloader privledges to your license later, you will be issued a BOW/MZ ANTLERLESS ONLY tag. There is no such thing as a BOW STAMP or ML STAMP anymore, there are only BOW/MZ ,reg.season and DMP tags.

Your allowed a maximum of TWO-2-BUCK in a season, per licensee.
