Actually your uncle is still not legal. In NY you can only receive 2 DMP's max, sorry.
And Preach- you can use your bow during regular season if you'd like and use your regular season buck tag on it. 5 deer with bow for you!
Al .... I'm pretty sure you can only use the buck tag for shotgun only .......of course, I am old and my eyes are dim...[:-]
Just checked .... it can be used after shotgun as well ... during the second archery or muzzleloader .....so it wont be there for me to use with a bow....
