I' ll have to say NO... for one reason. You aren' t going to be reissued a tag for the used zone. They have NO way of separating the scams from the truths. AND, they' ll tell you it' s YOUR responsibility to fill out the right tag. What you did was break the law. The doe tags for that zone have been issued and they aren' t making any more for dummies that can' t read. They may not give you a ticket... but they sure aren' t going to give you a tag more than likely. Hunt with what you got, which is what you should have... one more doe tag.

That said, I did the same thing in NY one year. I was hunting the early bow season. During that season you use unused tags from last year. The new bow tags weren' t good until Oct 1st. I shot a deer on Sept 29. I didn' t have my glasses, it was getting dark, and I couldn' t see. I filled out the upcoming seasons tag before it was valid. I was on my way home the next day and saw to Game Wardens at a deer check station. I stopped an told them my problem. The did issue me a new tag for the upcoming season... but it' s a little different.

To top it off, the dummy I am, I guess I lost my regular firearms tag when I pulled everything out of my pack. I didn' t know it until I got home in Maryland the next day. I called Albany and told them ALL my story. Their comment was, they shouldn' t have reissued you a new tag in the field. So I ask about getting a new rifle tag. They said they couldn' t do that, they' d have to reissue as soon as I faxed them a statement. which I did. Guess what the sent me. THREE tags, bow, muzzleloader and firearms. So there I was with a field issued bow tag, a muzzleloader tag and 3 tags sent from Albany.[][] I figured it was a test so tore up the old Muzzleloader and field issue bow.
