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???
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.
