1) you cannot use a regular season tag in early bow season.you can bowhunt in regular season though
2)Bow and muzzleloader tags are the same tag, one is BOW/ML antlerless and one is BOW/ML either sex
3)I know of no where in NY where you can take 3 bucks in a license year. you can take a buck w/ your BOW/ML either sex tag (which is one tag) and another buck in regular season w/ the regular season tag and a buck or doe in ML season w/ you reg season tag
