not the same thing . . .the DMPs they're mailing out were only if you got denied a DMP in a specific WMU and there was a surplus. . . for the archery only units like 1C and 3S everyone that applied got a DMP right off the bat, no one got deniedand therefore you wouldn't get aDMP in the mail . . . check back on the DEC website in a week or two to see if they post any info on bonus permits and check the linkbelow for check-in stations to get additional DMPs
