Im hunting in NY this year since I will be working there for the next year. Is Poughkeepsie and Highland both in Dutchess County? When I fill for a tag am I getting a permit just for Dutchess county or do I need to specify the zone?

Poughkeepsie is the County Seat of Dutchess County. Highland is on the other side of the Hudson River, and is in Ulster County.
Great deer hunting in Dutchess, but getting access to land is a problem. Have never hunted Ulster. Getting a "doe" tag is problematical anywhere in the State. You have to request a specific WMU, and cross your fingers.
If you have not hunted NY before, let me warn you that the DEC Police enforce all game laws to the letter. I know 3 personally, and they all have a zero tolererance policy when it comes to game laws. (No, they are not anti-hunting. I have hunted with them numerous times)
