I use my doe tage to go down to Southern Tier .
Use to be shotgun only now irs Rifle at least until we have to many accidents .
A few freinds and myself go down every year .
Nice to get away and hunt some new proerty .
I luv the hilly terrain around the Steuben County area ..[8D]

got my two permits one for 7A the other for 8F. good luck all you NY hunters and hunt safe shoot straight and one shot one kill

The chance's for getting DMP's for 3M were high for both 1st and 2nd DMP. My Wife A friend, his wife and I all went upto Gander Mtn on the 19th ( insider news said the DEC systems were down most of the day on the 18th) Anyway we all went in and all four of us got BOTH dmp's for 3M. Thats 8 DMP's!!! in a row!!!

EDIT: NYS is also giving out more dmp's this year not sure on the percent but its about 530,000 Out of about 850,000 hunters in NY

I have 2 permits. One for 7M and one for 7J.

Going for 9H and 9A as my second. I have not gone yet, but hope to get to Gander this week. I'll let you know how I make out.

I went 2/2
3P and 3M
high percentage
woot woot!

I got both of my doe tags, so now it's up to me! I got 1 for 9H and 1 for 9A. Went to camp yesterday and planned to get my stands ready. The only problem was that my 4 other hunting buddies were at camp and we starting talking and laughing instead of gettting work done. Hmmm imagine that! man...I am ready!

I drew an 8P tag. Steubin County is God's country for deer hunting.

Me: 7A and 7F
My fiance got 7F and turned down for 7F for her 2nd.
My dad got 7M and turned down for 7F for his 2nd.
My Grandfather for 7F and turned down for 6K for his 2nd. He goofed on the order he should have asked.
My grandmother got turned down for 6K but got 7F for her 2nd. She now has 2 preference points for 6K.
My aunt got 7A (landowner) and 7F.

So basically what your telling me is your whole family hunts! That's cool. Asa kid I used to live in a little towncalled Clay in the '70's. Where you located?
