NYer's license
 

Hey guys, NY licenses go on sale August 18th. I'm curious to see how everybody does withdoe permits. I've been praticing for a few weeks now and shooting real well. Anybody else getting ready for the new season?

RE: NYer's license
 

Yeah ,i don'tapply for doe tags.I have tags left over from last year so my season in late Sept.

RE: NYer's license
 

I never thought of doing that. Great idea, hunt in the northern region before the south opens...hmmm. thanks for the tip,

RE: NYer's license
 

I,m heading for Gander tommorow .
I,ll apply for a couple doe tags for the Southern Tier regon .
I will be in the woods end of Sept. also ....

RE: NYer's license
 

guys.. question on the Doe Tags. does it really matter if you apply now or in 3 weeks? like.. is it first come first serve that u will have a better chance at getting a doe tag? or does it not matter.?
thanx

RE: NYer's license
 

It's completely random. It doesn't matter when you apply, you have no better chance of drawing a tag by doing it early.

The only exception is if there are left over tags for certain WMUs. It should say in the regs what date they begin selling the "leftovers". This is first come first serve.

RE: NYer's license
 

As a nonresident, I do not believe I can get a doe permit where I hunt.
I am ready... Will be hunting Hillsdale area early season. Will be out in Auburn area for last week of bow...

RE: NYer's license
 

I'm quite sure that nonresidents have a chance to obtain doe permits. You just need to look at the chart in the NYS hunting pamphlet. It shows the chances of obtaining permits for both residents and nonresidents in every WMU. Good luck.

RE: NYer's license
 

Guess I lucked out .
I got 2 dor tags .
I here computers are very slooww......[8D]

RE: NYer's license
 

This year will be my first in new york.... you can use leftover tags from the year before?
Also i am a non resident.... can i get my license and tags online?

RE: NYer's license
 

New York has two main hunting zones. The Northern Zone and the Southern Zone. The archery season for the Northern Zone begins before this years tags become effective. You can only use last years unused tags during the early archery seasonfrom 9/27 - 9/30in the Northern Zone. As of 10/1/08 you need to use your new tags.

Note that this is only for the first 3 days of early archery season in the northern zone. Also, you can use any unused tag from last year, except for a doe tag.

RE: NYer's license
 

I went and got my license today got turned down for 6P(medium) but received my 2nd permit 3P(high). Well at least I got preference points for next year.

RE: NYer's license
 

Bought my license the simplest way which is over the phone. Got my first doe permit in my area 4P since the 2004 season! The area didn't issue any doe permits in 05 & 06 and last year preference points were required and I didn't draw.

RE: NYer's license
 

www.dec.ny.gov is the web site.I have two 06 -07 tags so i can bow hunt the last 4 days in sept 08.I computers were slow when i bought mine.If this is your first time hunting in NY i'm not sure if you can buy on line.

RE: NYer's license
 

I just bought mine online and got 1 permit. 9w. Was very simple. If you do not have a previouslicence here in NY then you cannot buy online. If your a non resident and have applied before using "d.e.c.a.l.s." then by all means you can go on line and get yours.

RE: NYer's license
 

Only tag you can use is a buck tag for the few days in September during the archery season only .
Not positive abought buying your license on line from out of State ?
Just go to NY DEC websight and you can get the info ..

RE: NYer's license
 

you guys ARENT talking about the BOW license are you? you have to draw doe permits for BOW? this will be my first season going with bow.. and im taking the class this sunday commin up.. anyways.. just looking for info.. goodluck to all this season.
Shawackem!

RE: NYer's license
 

With your bow licence, you get an either sex tag.
If you get the bow/mz licence, you get 1 either sex and 1 antlerless only to be used only in early bow or late bow/mz.
These tags and your regular season buck tags are the only ones you can use in the early NZ thru 9/30.

DMP (doe) tags are applied for prior to opening are are only good for the WMU they are issued for.
Depending on the individual DMU population, number of tags (2 max) and restrictions on who is eligible vary from unit to unit.

RE: NYer's license

RE: NYer's license
 

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

RE: NYer's license
 

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

RE: NYer's license
 

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.

RE: NYer's license
 

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

RE: NYer's license
 

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!

RE: NYer's license
 

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

RE: NYer's license
 

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.

RE: NYer's license
 

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?

RE: NYer's license
 

Spike...isn't that cool. The camp I go to has 2 uncles, a father, plus 2 brothers thatget as many permits as they can. If needed, theyall share the permits, which I think isreal cool. We had 1 guy get 2-7 point bucks with the bow and a 6 during shotgun last year. Since the family is there, theyall cover each other and have a great time during the season. No harm done because they all get meat and everybody is more than willing to give up their tag for a family member.

RE: NYer's license
 

Got 7F, no 7A. One preference point for next year though.

RE: NYer's license
 

I'm in Solvay. Clay isn't little anymore. Its a very popular town now and so is Cicero.

RE: NYer's license
 

Yeah the women folk go out now and then but it's nice that they can sign over doe tags. Wish they could do that with buck tags. maybe some year.

RE: NYer's license
 

just remember boys pref points are not for a certain dmu they are just for being denied and you only get 1 if you get denied on the first pic the second wont get you a point i got 1 for 5r and got denied for the second no pref point but i got one for my back yard i can almost taste the venny now

RE: NYer's license
 

I got 1 for 7F and turned down for a 2nd 7f. My uncle got 2 for 7f and now it's up to my wife to see what she gets

RE: NYer's license
 

Got my first in 7m and second in 7f, my Dad did the same.

RE: NYer's license
 

i got two doe permits one for 4B and 4H...i am pretty excited

RE: NYer's license
 

You do realize that it would be illegal for someone to shoot 3 bucks in one season? Doe permits are transferable, but not buck tags. I've hunted long enough to know what people do during deer season, and can't say that I haven't bent a rule a time or two. I just don't know if I would be as proud of it as you seem to be and want to tell the whole world about it.

RE: NYer's license
 

actually it is legal to kill 3 bucks in one season use last years bow tag in the first 4 days then use this years bow/ml tag then use your reg tag add em up that makes three
