a key point that some are missing is that ML hunters pay the same for a ML tag as bow hunters do for a bow tag. there is a descrepancy in the seasons. as most know by other posts, i don't like the proposals, however I think that ML hunters should have their own season (1 week before sometime before gun and doe only, does not a season make). what is so hard about giving them a month after gun ends?? seems rather simple to me. also let them fill their ML tag in regular season if they want.

the arguement that they can use their ML in gun season is irrelevant. they paid for their gun tag also. Archers can do the same thing. My letters to DEC will relay these points and offer some alternatives that I feel would be agreeable to all parties. I hope others voice their opinion whatever it be (although it would be nice to get some kind of consensus and have a somewhat unified approach - like what NYB is doing - however they do not represent all hunters and that is what alternatives should focus on - something that all hunters can live with)
